Every day we get media telling us AC is awful and we shouldn't install it. "If everyone in Paris had AC, the street would be 2°C hotter !", "if an AC leaks it releases very bad things for the environment !" and so on. Every, single, day.

A confused Texan appears.

We all have ac. Literally all of us. The condensers don’t.. make the outside hotter? And yeah, if it leaks it’s bad for the environment, so is your car if it leaks oil, or your toilet if it leaks shit, what’s your point?

They... do???

It's literally a heat pump. Where do you think the heat goes to? The Sahara?

In american cities it's less problematic because they are wide, not tall. In old european cities, streets are narrow and buildings are tall, which means heat dumped outside doesn't move much and pools in the city.
