Everything is fine...
AC is quite rare in France. So everyone is basically cooking alive. Except the politicians because of course their workspace has AC.
AC could add like 10°C to the streets during a heatwave, + any emissions from faulty equipment is massively more powerful than CO2
Putting AC everywhere is not a solution by any standard...
What we need is thermal insulation for the buildings
Except that isolations keeps warmth in, or out in the winter, but not both. Not that simple.
But you're right about cities and AC, I was in Madrid in august last year, jesus it was hot. So hot it was probably dangerous, I wonder how much was caused by ubiquitous AC.
I beg to differ. A good insulation insulates two systems from another. In this case the air outside and the air inside. So with a good insulation you don't need as much heating when it is cold outside and cooling when it is hot outside.
This is the way. With good insulation doesn't matter if there's a heatwave or a coldwave. And there is the risk of the Gulf steam stopping and sending Europe to a mini ice age.
