Don’t Be Fooled By Recent Climate Change News
Many of you may have seen the big news story that’s making the rounds on the internets today. Apparently, 2010 is getting set to be the warmest year on record. That’s right- 2010 wasn’t the warmest year ever just for your city, region, or country. It was the warmest year ever for the whole world.
Now, you may be reading this while looking out at your driveway that has 3 feet of snow waiting to be shoveled away and be thinking, “warmest year ever? Not around here!”
But despite some countries, most notably England, having uncharacteristically cold years, 2010 is still shaping up to be a real scorcher.
Scientists everywhere are heralding this as the definitive proof that global warming has arrived and is here to stay. That very well may be, but before you start throwing out all your winter coats, you should know that there may be some very cold days ahead.
Indeed, 2011 could actually be a much colder year than usual. This is due to the expected impact of La Niña, which could create uncharacteristically cold weather for many regions across the globe.
How does all this impact HVAC industry jobs?
Well, you should prepare for a cold winter, which means get ready for some cold weather jobs. Make sure your weatherization techniques are up to snuff and that all ventillation systems are sealed to keep out the cold air.
You should also be prepared to see another upsurge in demand for more eco-friendly HVAC systems. News like this will only further motivate people to reduce the carbon output of their HVAC systems, so make sure your business can deliver new technology that will help homes and businesses reach their green goals. Otherwise, get bundled up for a cold winter, and have happy holidays!
