Theyre a good option tbh.

Am in Europe, bought AC. That can also pump heat in. Also outdoor blinds. And a well insulated place. Weather is going to be crazy very soon, and it wil not get better after.

Don't worry! There's a non-zero chance the AMOC collapses and you'll finally have a latitude appropriate climate. Hope you like snow (while it's still possible to fall at that latitude) /s

I found better than AC : my mom having AC That way when it's too hot I get the AC + free food

I actually heard a piece on NPR yesterday about France debating whether or not to embrace it.

Heat pumps are pretty efficient both in cost and impact as far as these things go. If your local grid is remotely green you've got nothing to feel guilty over imo I've lived my whole life in the US Southeast and even im looking at maps of France and Germany saying "oh fuck that". Yall stay safe.

To fit the pattern of the meme it would be "AC doesn't matter - Americans"

Yeah, it's crazy how little energy it takes to conserve the indoor temperature on a neat level. Though that might be because those blinds work like magic, I've always wanted them, and now I can't imagine life without them.

Central air systems are super rare here so most people pop a mini split in their bedroom

Passive cooling as much as possible is really the key, get as much of that rolling as possible. Blinds, shade trees, good insulation and windows. Easily some of the most cost effective ways to prolong your hvac and keep power costs low while not sweating to death
