HVAC companies and car repair shops are thriving
And exacerbating the problem simultaneously!
Just make peace with it. The problem is just going to get worse so the best thing you can do is figure out what you are going to do for yourself. I invest heavily in air conditioner manufacturers and geared my career for infrastructure and automation. The world is going to be on fire and there is nothing I can do to stop it, but I can make sure that I will still have a job when we are all living in some subterranean bunkers.
One of our local HVAC shops has a massive warehouse filled to the ceiling with equipment, all paid for and waiting to install.
