    Funnily enough it wouldn’t in the UK. Most don’t have any ac. But I can see that hot countries struggle

      Aren’t summers getting quite warm there as well to the point that more people are getting/needing AC? I thought I read something about that back in like July.

        Oh absolutely. Gets up to 30s but rarely in Scotland. Londoners need ac but the funny thing is. More people get ac and you literally warm up the city. The more ac the more heat and it’s just a viscous circle.

        It’s also kinda infuriating that people can’t be uncomfortable. Oh it’s a bit warm. I won’t do something about it. I’ll just shove on ac. Fix the issue. Kill the planet because you can deal with being uncomfortable for a single second.

        If every single person gets ac then ac no longer works. Planet is dead.

          30c is hot enough that you have to be careful about your body temperature and it can be very dangerous for the elderly.

            True. But the elderly wouldn’t be able to afford ac. So kinda a null. Can barely afford to hear themselves in the winter.
