There a really good point. We take the AC for granted mostly, while it's an usual sight in many parts of Europe.

I mean it's mostly an unusual sight in parts of Europe because they don't need AC's, they need heating instead.

Most parts of Europe (that I've been to) where it gets hot have AC.

The trouble is that parts of Europe that didn't use to get hot now get hot, but still don't have AC. But that's mostly because of conservatism.
