"It creates a vicious cycle," says an engineer who works at Texas Instruments Co. and who majored in physics. He points out that all of us produce heat in our daily lives to a greater or lesser extent, which causes the environment to become hotter. To get rid of the additional heat we use more air conditioners, refrigerators, and freezers, but these appliances in turn produce yet more heat.
「這也造成惡性循環」，一位學物理、在德州儀器公司上班的工程師指出，大家在日常生活中，多多少少都在製造熱能，使我們的環境更熱，因此就需要冷氣機、空調、冰箱、冷凍庫… … 來消除熱；但使用這些東西又產生更多的熱，又需要更多冷氣機、空調… …。
