Yeah, that’s what I figured. I’d heard that a lot of europe lacks warm weather infrastructure and most homes lack the basic air conditioning that is ubiquitous here in the US. I don’t see a lot of fixes for that.

The solution is the for the rich landowners to spend their fucking money and retrofit building with central air.

The solution is as simple as always: the rich must spend money.

Sure if you never plan to leave the house this is fine. The energy for all those ac have to come from somewhere so let's burn some more CO2, I'm sure that won't make it worse.

I agree but they will just shift the costs onto the renters. That's how we do gentrification
