Heat makes heat ()

The outdoor temperature is higher, so computer fans and refrigerators run harder, which raises indoor temperatures more, so people run fans or air conditioners which produce work which raises the outdoor temperature more, and which also put more pressure on the electricity distribution infrastructure which generates more heat and more CO2, which raises the outdoor temperature.

The higher CO2 levels make the grass grow longer, faster, so the people who insist on having lawns run their lawnmowers more, which generates heat and uses more fuel and puts even more CO2 in the atmosphere (as well as other nasty emissions because lawnmower engines aren't at all clean).

The more we struggle to keep comfortable, the harder it will become.
