I can't even with the fucking #American POV and their shitty uninformed opinions about #AC in #Europe. The #heat #death count in Europe isn't anywhere close to as much higher as is widely claimed, because it's comparing Heat Stroke death to Excess Deaths during heatwaves over baseline.

That means the _only_ way to install AC would be to: A: Cut through medieval stonework B: Install custom windows. C: Use a terrible and inefficient movable AC. It is absolutely and completely preposterous. There isn't a "cultural antipathy" toward AC. AC is a terrible solution to the problems Europeans actually face,
