Reality is much of Northern Europe hasn’t needed air conditioning until about 5 years ago

Throughput the summer my phone regular tells me the temperature is 15°C above the average for the time of year



The 2003 European heatwave had a death toll of 70,000. That should have been a warning for us to get AC.

And for the next 20 years been basically unneeded.

How much AC does Alaska have?
