And it’s not like Europe is completely blameless when it comes to global warming, either.

Yes sorry I was just snarky because finally AC globally still heats the world, so to keep our elders alive let’s burn the world’s babies

What would be the alternative?
The energy used by a window AC unit would be easily offset by a single 300W solar panel (even on hot days, they don’t run 100% of the time). They tend to be needed most on sunny days, so that’s not a problem for solar.
