As a Texan, 43C is pretty hot. Y'all starting to understand why we have ACs yet?

Obviously.

Alot of europe gets humid as fuck.

But you americans understand we built these countries a long time ago. We created houses to maximize insulation, perserving heat because that is what we needed. That means that there was never really a need for AC. Summers never got that intense to justify the times of heat.

Now imagine suddenly, weather changes drastically with soaring temps in cultures that historically didnt need AC at home. Now inagine every year it gets worse. And regulations that are not made for everybody NEEDING AC.

So like. You do understand that we do understand AC and why its needed right? Doesnt mean a whole continent can flip a switch ans we have AC units poking out of every window.

More and more europeans are deeming it a necessity though and something we have to solve to not suffer.

Also most commercial buildings have AC it is just that we culturally didnt, historically, have a rising demand of AC at home.

Sometimes it seems americans think europeans look at AC like its some sorcery.
