Solution

The correct option is B False
No, encouraging the usage of refrigerators and air conditioners do not help reduce the adverse effects of global warming. Refrigerators and ACs release chlorofluoro carbons (CFCs) that are harmful to the environment, particularly the ozone layer. These substances deplete the ozone layer thereby letting the Sun's harmful radiation reach the Earth's surface. This adds fuel to the global warming.
