Why is this "a perception"? It's true isn't it? I'm going to get AC but the situation is quite worrying.

It isn't necessarily true. Here (bottom of the sea) it's only hot when the there isn't any clouds, so solar energy that produces the heat is also producing the electricity to run the AC.

It's also a misdirection of guilt. It's not the accumulated CO2 from the decades of burning all kinds of shit that is driving the weather, it's your personal AC unit.

Indeed. It is true. However, it's not exactly helping if the other side of the pond burns gas turbines to power their AI dreams and tells us to "just get AC bro".

AC does make the problem worse, the issue is just that climate change is mostly out of Europe's control.
