The paper talks about how the world is getting hotter, and because of this, we need to use our air conditioners more. This is measured using something called "cooling degree days" (CDD). The study found that as the global temperature rises from 1.5°C to 2.0°C, the need for cooling (like using ACs) will increase a lot, especially in tropical regions.
