    Everything is fine…

    AC is quite rare in France. So everyone is basically cooking alive. Except the politicians because of course their workspace has AC.

      AC could add like 10°C to the streets during a heatwave, + any emissions from faulty equipment is massively more powerful than CO2

      Putting AC everywhere is not a solution by any standard…

      What we need is thermal insulation for the buildings

        Except that isolations keeps warmth in, or out in the winter, but not both. Not that simple.

        But you’re right about cities and AC, I was in Madrid in august last year, jesus it was hot. So hot it was probably dangerous, I wonder how much was caused by ubiquitous AC.
