A year at sea: The reality of living on a permanent cruise

https://www.cnn.com/travel/villa-vie-odyssey-cruise-ship-sharon-lane-one-year-on

🌎 Humanity is truly living its best ClimateCatch22 dream:

The hotter > The more ACs > The more Electricity consumption > The hotter

⛵ Meanwhile the rich take advantage of the rising water levels, MOVING onto superyachts & forever cruiseships (for one last journey).

⛽ Burning through a cool $1 million of diesel per refueling.

Not so sure about the AC point, as you usually needs it when it's sunny and IF you power it with solar panel the climate cost of AC usage isn't that high.

Production of AC and solar panel I'm not sure if it's so had compared to others, if you can reverse the AC it's probably better than most heating systems, even if you'll still depend on the grid for most of the time

In theory yes, however the current reality in the countries with huge AC density, sadly looks different.
