The "just get AC" solution doesn't really work for all those global south countries who are experiencing crop failure and famine because of the rise in global temperature, does it?

Oh and I forgot. Some Europeans, particularly Italians, have been convinced that A/C causes them to become sick, literally will kill them. They are afraid of it.

Actually, no. My Dad was in Europe for work for two months and then in the Middle East for two months. Other than flight attendants coming through the cabin spraying air freshener every few minutes on his ME flights, he discovered the smell was the same. He did like Switzerland, though. Thought Italy was okay. The French were typically PITAs. Saudis and Egyptians were professional but when he met Qaddafi face to face, he was scared s***less. Of course, Qaddafi had kidnapped him from Cairo, so he had reason to be.

I will be in Greece in a couple of weeks. The last time i was there about 12 years ago the hotels had AC but they would turn off when you left the room.
