Are you one of those people who always complain about the scorching hot weather in our country?
Well, if you think our country is hot, you need to spare a thought for Qatar.
Qatar is one of the hottest places on Earth, and the temperature there is so unbearable that the country has installed air conditioning in the open air!
Yes, that includes the streets and outdoor markets!
In fact, the country has started air-conditioning its football stadiums in preparation for the World Cup in 2022!
News website The Independent UK reported that the summer temperature of the country has reached a jaw-dropping 46°C!
However, there’s a downside to open air-conditioning: the emission of more carbon dioxide.
It also doesn’t help that Qatar is currently the largest per-capita emitter country of greenhouse gasses, according to the World Bank, and with the current outdoor air-conditioning practice, the number is expected to double by 2030.
It was reported that the country’s temperature is already over 2°C! above pre-industrial times, so yeah, Qatar is in for a rough time.
So, guys, we should be thankful that Malaysia is not experiencing such heatwave!
