“Cold Tube” cooling system uses half the energy of an air conditioner

It already has. There is a noticeable shift in temperatures here in the Netherlands.

Hot days are getting hotter and much more frequent. Snow is getting rare. We had a yearly ice skating event that never happens anymore because there is no ice.

Weeks of 30C weather are getting more common while not long ago, hotter than 25C was considered exceptional.

It’s like daily temperatures are just shifted +5 degrees within 2 decades.

It’s not just my gut feeling, there are plenty of statistics

This event took place 15 times in the last century. How can this be yearly?

I agree it's hardly a yearly event, but this is definitely the even he is referring to. Theoretically yearly would be a better term.

Or maybe he meant to say rare event is still rare. Sounds a lot less alarmist too.

The whole comment is hyperbole.
