I consider myself fairly cultured and globally informed, and I literally did not know how much of a rarity AC was in Europe…?!

Hospitals in the U.S. are required to maintain air conditioning and specific temperature ranges because temperature control is directly tied to patient safety and infection prevention 😳

Air conditioning is definitely a solution to preventing people from dying. We can prevent deaths while also working to improve the environment

In American heat waves, local governments sometimes open temporary "cooling centers" for people without adequate AC. They consider it a safety issue.

There has been an “unprecedented heat wave” every year for the last 10 years. At this point you should see the trend and get an AC.

Air conditioning takes less energy than heating. But removing heaters would be absurd

How is heating a necessity yet AC a luxury? “Bad for the planet” as if heating doesn’t also have a huge impact on the environment?????!!!!!!???

Now hold up a second. We should all get electric cars, which use a ton of energy to charge. But we shouldn’t have AC because it’s an “indulgence” and uses too much energy? Glad I live in America.

Whether or not you decide to invest in air conditioning is a personal choice, but the fact that they don't have AC in hospitals should be illegal.
