    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.

    poor fuckin’ baby.

      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

        edit : yes you are right and it is a problem. But I do not know if AC everywhere is the solution. Building viable living spaces and changing our way of life probably is.

          “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. The extreme heat that we’re experiencing is a particular problem for elderly people, especially those living alone. It can also place an additional burden on pregnant women.”

          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.

            Yes sorry I was just snarky because finally AC globally still heats the world, so to keep our elders alive let’s burn the world’s babies
