Much of Europe is getting hotter. AC is literally a life-saving technology on extremely hot days. No, it’s not mere “comfort”. Old people, in particular, are at high risk.
And it’s not like Europe is completely blameless when it comes to global warming, either.
come on, most of the world have worst temperatures and no AC

“In the European region, heat stress is the leading cause of climate-related death in the region,” he said. “Temperature extremes such as those we’re experiencing at the moment are really exacerbating chronic conditions, including cardiovascular, respiratory and cerebro-vascular diseases, mental health and diabetes-related conditions.

On 22 July 2024, the daily global average temperature reached a new record high of 17.16°C, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. On 23 July, the preliminary value was 17.15°C. On 21 July, the temperature record was 17.09°C. All three days were warmer than the previous record of 17.08°C, set only last year on 6 July 2023.
This is a real and growing problem. Stop sticking your head in the sand.
My guess: american guests expect 70s temps or AC. Homey runs airbnb, guests want it and go to his competition that offers it, therefore he’s bullied.
