Ah. But that 35C was when it was above 40C. It was already extreme for northern europe.
If we ever head towards 50C, I suspect I'll be dead before then, there's always the basement. That's ten or more degrees less than under the roof.
As climate change accelerates, and energy prices increase, we'll have to adapt. Because when the power increasingly goes out, or when you end up paying hundreds per month on electricity, you're fucked in a poorly insulated house even with AC.
It's not environmentally friendly, it's increasingly unaffordable, and it's not sustainable on a societal level.
