So we will just run for cover from ac spaces to other ac spaces like americans? No thanks.

AC just displace the issue, you will be good in your ACed appartment but the neighbor who face the exhaust will be blasted with hotter air.

At a building scale it creates “hot air islands”, at a city/datacenter scale it is +2°C at least in a large radius.

AC should be only a part of the solution, as it adds more issues (electricity needs, pfas emissions, dangerous fluids management).

Other forms of AC exist my friend, geothermal is a great one that would work everywhere in Europe I’ve been.

Well, your other options are enduring the eat or move too somewhere cooler.

At least for the most vulnerable, like the elderly

  Sure, and maternities and schools.
  
  This is a part of the solution, like a bandage, but it should not be the whole plan.
  
  I know nothing but according to some scientists the most efficient cooling system is forests and humid zones.
  
  That’s why we are planting trees in cities instead of parking lots and in schools courts. It’s a good start but we need moooore
