We’ve only had 1.3C of global average warming, but it’s enough to popularize the entire category of personal cooling devices. So when people say, “You won’t even notice 1C of global warming,” the market tells us that that’s absolute bullshit.

    It mentions the neck-coolers being ineffectual, but at least according to a Techmoan review I saw, the model he had was surprisingly effective.

    Not that I disagree with the point of the article, which is that we shouldn’t need this shit to begin with and only the wealthy first world nations will be able to afford them, but the tech itself does seem to work.

      I’m very very hesitant to believe in most online reviews; the product manufactures pay for a lot of them.

        Fair enough, but in my experience Techmoan has always been trustworthy in his reviews, he’s not sponsored by the manufacturer.
