I mean, the billionaires are creating hell on earth and we should just accommodate and live in a 40°C houses because we should compensate their mess?

And you need AC when there is sun, so you can use solar to power them, I don't see a real problem here

    It's so simple for all of them to just pile everything on us but the rich fly in their private jets, helicopters, build data centers and destroy the environment to build their 42nd mansion and we're the problem?

    The rich and those that are making laws that constantly make our lives miserable "for the environment" can fuck off and die in a hole!

    To be clear i don't mind helping the environment but then everyone should be responsible not just those without billions.

    About 4 years ago, when we had a massive heatwave, we've bought an aircon without a second thought. We don't want kids anyway, and if the rich and wealthy are hellbent on destroying the planet anyway, I'm gonna at least live out my days in relative comfort.

    Fortress Europe, except it's soon to be Dessolate Wasteland Europe.

    This is obviously some intense individualist junk in the article, but if it's too hot at home try going to a public space with AC.

    I live in Australia, I've never had A/C, when it's hot I've gone to a mall, a library, a swimming pool, the beach, a cinema, hung out in anumderground gararge, freeze some damp cloths, be creative.

    I’m in Australia. I have solar panels on my house and that covers the air conditioning for my whole home, while still leaving plenty left over to export to the grid.

    It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Renewable sources of energy can mean more air conditioning plus emissions reductions.

    Rooftop solar and grid solar/wind needs to happen as much as possible.
