Why the Increase in Extreme Weather May Offset Energy Efficiency Improvements

“How may the increase in more extreme weather offset energy efficiency improvements?”
With the advent of climate change, extreme weather is going to become more and more common. Areas that used to barely see a scorching day in Summer may now have to deal with weeks of extreme heat. This will make people more reliant on internal temperature control, increasing energy usage, and offsetting some of the gains made by energy efficiency improvements. This is Why the Increase in Extreme Weather May Offset Energy Efficiency Improvements.
