@dwnews: Almost every home in the US has air conditioning. In Germany, that figure is just around 6%. Why did Europe embrace life without AC? And is that about to change as heat waves get worse? #dwenvironmentnews
Are AC units taxed heavily in Germany? Cause I think they can afford it

That is the most idiotic statement I’ve ever heard. If every AC was running it’ll be a negligible impact on the ambient temperature outside with every AC is running in the city.

In Ukraine almost everyone has a split system at home. In summer it usually gets to +40C
I even remember +43 or something like that.
And -20 in winter

The number of AC units in the EU will likely double or even quadruple by 2050, according to the International Energy Agency.

Yeah those other alternatives aren't alternatives, we can't just rebuild all of Europe to avoid A/C, especially when it's so hot that shade and ventilation isn't enough anyway.
