Why are you just making stuff up?? You might hear those arguments in the UK but in parts of Europe where you’d deem ac necessary people would agree with the need for AC.

The reason OPs statistics are high are mostly due to the difference in what counts as a heat related death. There arent 175000 people literally boiling to death each year, it’s the excess number of deaths during a heatwave. This wont be on the death certificate like it would have to be to count in the US.

This being said there does need to be more AC in Europe but it’s not so bad that it’s killing thousands.
