Guess it’s just gonna become more common to have central air in Europe. Good time to be in that industry if you’re looking for a career.
Ah ! Yes! The solution to our problem! Looking away and increasing the temperatures even more. /s
There's a lot of renewables in Europe, so some places it's reasonably sustainable.
This is called misadaptation and our electricity needs will increase so much, that even the renewables won't be enough (electric cars, tractors, Datacenter, etc).
We should conceive cities with more trees, shadows, possibility to let the water flow through, etc.
Air conditioning should be reserved for places such as hospitals.
That's fair.
