why are americans like this, bros?
>>
Why is America such a bully? whenever America initiates a shit flinging session against Europe, it's usually out of ignorance and not malice, but this time they're so mean spirit, the Europeans were just suffering in their own country and suddenly America aggro with >muh AC for some reason
>>
>>222763311
They are bullies though.

>"DUDE, WE DON'T NEED TO BUY AN AIR CONDITIONER FOR ONLY 2 WEEKS OF HEATWAVES"
Stupid peasant argument. But anyway:
>already a month of intermittent heatwaves in Europe (they were already breaking 40C records in late May) and it's only July
>thousands of excess deaths just expected every summer now
>it's only going to get worse as the years pass
>Europeans refuse to adapt

>meanwhile, the EU Commission headquarters shut down the building's AC, but only for the first 7 floors (Ursula von der Leyen works on the 13th floor with her comfy AC)
>>
>>222763872
Truth
>>
>>222762940
Now if only we could figure out a way to crank the gulf stream up a few degrees…
>>
Does AC really cause that much carbon emission? I can’t defend people who use AC in northern states but it’s almost required in the south. Besides, China and Japan are just as guilty in terms of AC use yet they don’t get scolded.

I’m sorry for your heatwave but there’s no way we can go without AC. It’s far more humid and it doesn’t go away until late September
>>
Wish it was warm here.
>>
>>222764031
Yes, it's one of the largest contributors. AC uses 40x more energy total than AI.
>>
>>222764069
Honestly, I’d live in Canada if it weren’t for your weather. I don’t thing I can tolerate cold temperatures.
>>
>>222764069
Don't worry, it will be soon.
>>
>>222762940
USAnia registered ACs as their PDO, and EUropean laws about PDOs punish local versions of protected products with life imprisonment lmao
>>
>>222764099
I don’t think I would even know how to function without AC. My apartment is always at a comfortable 22 degrees. When I lived in a dorm, we didn’t have AC and it was so hard to fall asleep
>>
>>222764099
>>222764031
Wrong. Studies from the University of Phoenix and University of Nagoya have shown that collective AC units only raise the outdoor temperature 1º C for their given area.

Why is Japan's weather still comfy (despite every house having AC) but Europe is hot without them?
>>
>>222764031
Who gives a solitary fuck what southrons can "excuse"? You excused introducing the most destructive invasive species ever discovered into our nation because you were too lazy to pick literally the lightest crop in existence, and you tried to secede to keep whipping them because you're more interested in that than fucking your wives apparently.
Not that the average southerner bothered with that to begin with when you can just go to a "honky tonk" to bribe some toothless bimbo to bend over for you
FUCK Dixie take a bath of dead graycoats
>>
>>222764541
I’m not from the south, I just moved here. Just a rest stop until I move somewhere else
>>
>>222764516
1º C is enough to disrupt jet streams which is why Europe is experiencing the heatwave.

Never need heat or air

>I can’t defend people who use AC in northern states
Why? They use it the least since their climates are cooler to begin with. If anything, southerners would benefit the most from having other ways to manage heat.
>>
>>222765311
Like adjusting to the seasons?

I mean like having covered patios to provide shade, pools, maybe insulating certain spaces such as bedrooms to a degree that they can have AC running 24/7 without running up the electrical bill too much.
>>
>>222762940
Post the brat version gaylord
>>
>>222765576
Pools are pretty expensive and hard to maintain. Plus toddlers always seem to drown in them and they attract alligators (especially in Florida)
>>
>>222765632
Build a moat around your house then. Having one full of alligators would provide home security as well.

>can’t defend people who use AC in northern states
It's gonna be 90F+ with 70-90 humidity in Massachusetts this week. In the northern states our summers actually tend to be hotter and more humid than in euro land.
>>
>>222765946
Mosquitos aren't that much more of a nuisance near bodies of water.

>>222765576

>>
>>222763311
Europe was the one who said their AC use is causing heat waves. Don't say such stupid things and you won't get bullied then.
>>
>>222766233
Finland is too far north for Malaria carrying mosquitos but they are migrating into Europe as it heats up (Already in southern France and Italy)

There's genuinely a lot of former Soviet assets still in positions of influence in Europe. When the iron curtain fell only a few countries properly excised Russian influence.

why don't euros quit the stoic larp, I keep hearing them dropping like flies because of the heatwave

>It's only our unimportant old people who we socialized our medicine because we care so much about unlike Americans o algo
>>
>>222767698
It's really just western europeans who have this weird, almost cult-like aversion to having AC. I don't understand it either.
>>
The worst part is Euros do not use vented dryers for their clothing; they use heat pump dryers and that is why they always smell musty.

>Staff working at the Berlaymont building received a text at midday, reading: “BERL — URGENT — Due to extreme weather conditions, forced shut down of air cooling system from floor 1 to 7 for the rest of the day.”
>The 13-story building is home to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, her 26 commissioners and about 3,000 staff. Von der Leyen works on the 13th floor, and most of her commissioners’ offices are housed on floors eight or above.

Refer to your own graph. Clearly Russia, China, Japan , EU and India contribute more to emissions than USA does.
>>
I genuinely do not understand how this has become a global discourse of US vs EU, virtually every developed nation in the world has AC except for Europeans for some reason

AC is actually pretty energy efficient and only comprises of about 6% of our overall electricity expenditure
>>
>>222770782
I'll get it if it gets warmer, but it's a bit overkill up here still. Mostly been a solid summer so far. No idea about the AC mindset on the continent except for what random news articles and stuff pushed by shills say. Many of those countries are as exotic and foreign here as they are in the US. Europe can be overgeneralized, etc.

even the sort-of-poor people in small towns have ACs here
it's about one min wage, pretty easy to buy on credit and install it on your shack.
they're also good for winter you know...

>they're also good for winter you know...
Yeah these retards think AC systems are for merely summer, my AC cools AND heats so it is useful most of the year beyond days where it is in the 50s, 60s and 70s when I just turn it off.

The EU is a corporate ass-kissing capitalist hellscape. Disco Elysium did a fantastic job using a typical sneering Brussels suit as the face of Moralism. They will lecture you with a smile on their face on the evils of your very existence and how change from the broken status quo itself is vile while robbing you blind

I'm calling BS on that graph. Europe industrialized before the US and burned an ungodly amount of coal for heating and industries. Europe should have a large bump between 1850 and 1950.
