      We need more trees in cities. ACs produce even more heat, it’s absurd to want to solve the problem like that. People in Southern Europe have managed without it since ever.

        Well I’m sure they did manage but now they are dying according to this article. So unless you got a time machine so these people can go live in the past again or… Probably just gonna need that AC

          So this year everybody installs the AC, next year even more people die because even more heat gets generated. Rock and hard place really but personally my luddite ass will keep going without AC for as long as I possibly can. Common spaces with AC cooling (public libraries anyone?) might be a better solution than individual units.
