August 16, 200818 yr http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2...0815165112.aspx WTHR, the NBC affiliate for Indianapolis, reported from Beijing and described the NBC set used for the network's two highest rated news broadcasts, ?NBC Nightly News? and ?Today,? as air conditioned ? even though it is outdoors. "The set is outside, but air conditioning vents make the weather bearable,? Anne Marie Tiernon wrote for WTHR Eyewitness News on August 14. Even NBC ?Today? co-host Matt Lauer remarked about the air conditioning, but said it was still uncomfortable even with it. So not only are they wasting money and energy air-conditioning an outdoor set, it's not even working?

It's the hypocrisy behind the act, not the act itself.
August 18, 200818 yr Author I'm guessing all that pollution is making the heat worse... You have it reversed, I'm afraid. Anyway, most of urban heat island problems can be attributed almost entirely to higher heat capacities of industrial materials and greater tendency to absorb more solar radiation since these materials have lower albedos than rural areas. It's not even that terrible. At the hottest, it's been in the upper 80s. Humid, yes, but not as bad as people have been claiming.

I get that, but they are in the TV business, a visual medium, and who wants to watch people sweating through their shirts while watching the news? It seems like a necessary use of energy to me given the industry.
