Temperatures reach 46C in Spain as Europe heatwave continues

I should add a point 4:
You're a privileged commentariat who lives somewhere that hasn't been hit so hard by climate change yet to the point where A/C is needed for health reasons, and you lack the self awareness to know of that. That's why you're the person in the well.
You didn't offer the person who needs A/C a better solution, like a heat pump; you didn't ask if they use renewable energy (I don't know of Spain but here in Finland we can pick what energy company we use, and me and my wife have one that is 100% renewable/nuclear); you assumed they weren't from the EU.
That's why you're the person in the well. You never offered or discussed potential ways to improve things, or even if they need the A/C; you merely criticized someone who exists in society for partaking in society ie trying to survive the heat waves.
What person who need AC you fucking idiot? I was talking to you and you live in Finland.
Unlock your sphincter bro you're all tensed

Lmao the american dude living in Finland and taking his 20 hours planes is calling me privileged.
You're a first world idiot that cannot comprehend anything but burning more juice to solve all your problem

You know without quoting there's no context right? Just makes you sound a bit mad being this off topic. Especially since the majority of Lemmy is against the Palestinian genocide.
They are now it's trendy.
You think I forgot how it was in the worst days of the genocide?

When we stop voting out politicians that try to add a carbon tax.
"But the greeens they want to do something!!! You have to fear them!! They want to take away your schnitzel! Force you to be vegaaaan!!!" - insert any politician you want here

I grew up in El Salvador until I had to go to school, and then summers were in El Salvador. We traveled by bus. That is until the gang wars got too dangerous. My parents are from El Salvador and had to leave because of the civil war that the USA meddled in because the revolutionaries were "scary socialists". At home we only spoke Spanish, and watched and listened to Spanish media like Univision and SƔbado Gigante.
EspaƱol es mi primer lenguaje, that's why the second half of my username is in Spanish (sal is salt in Spanish, lumi is snow in Finnish).
Growing up in poverty, most of my life without A/C, and from a time when plastic wasn't as common because I'm older, and tech was expensive and uncommon, I'm pretty sure my life time pollution output has been lower than yours, too.
I've taken that long travel journey of Finland / USA only twice, once to move here, and the second time because I have family that actually cares about me to the point they bought my plane tickets that second time. I'm sorry you don't know that feeling.
But go on, do keep speaking, letting any doubt about you being the fool be removed.
Oh, btw:
You're a idiot that cannot comprehend anything but burning more juice to solve all your problem
Literally makes you the guy in the well depicted as the asshole no one likes, especially considering there's literally no other way to visit family.

You were talking about Eterra originally. I apologize, didn't realize you had memory health issues as well.
Clearly not talking to me since I don't have, or need, A/C. Since you may be geographically challenged, Finland is very very far north.

Do tell, less than 1 day old Lemmy account.

Just shoot them lmao they deserve it

As this keeps happening I continue to wonder when Europe and the UK will finally realize how badly they need to air conditioning. The units are (or were in the past year or 3)b way more expensive there than here in America. I dunno about current costs. It's worth it though, even if you only need it for like 1 month out of the year.
We're very aware in the UK but it's not too easy. We have some the oldest housing stock in the world. We don't have central air with no real way to retrofit so it would have to be one room at a time. Our windows aren't designed to house those units I see in NY. We have to rely on very inefficient portable units so I only use it on the really hot days. Energy prices are still high after Russia's invasion. People are adding proper units when extending but only the rich can really afford that.

Gee, I wonder why you were banned before lol.
I really wonder what level of self hate you must have to be this much of an asshole. And that's coming from someone who was already almost killed by racists twice. I'm not surprised you're yet another person itching to kill a minority from an originally poor background.

Ah yes what we need is to burn even more energy /s
We're doomed because of idiots like you lmao. How does it feel knowing you're responsible for the end of humanity?
And your suggestion is let them roast?

It depends on the kind of heatpumps, in a lot of cases the heatpump is installed to replace a boiler, reusing the radiators and hot water circulation already available.
Unfortunately in this case the heatpump cannot be used as AC.
Not as AC, but a reversible heat pump can use the heating system for cold water circulation.
It's rather limited, because you run into condensation concerns, but it's still a possibility.
A place I used to work at did this.
It wasn't perfect, but took some of the edge off. -
Across the Mediterranean to the south and east it is even hotter. Wearing shorts and putting on sunblock isn't the best way to deal with the heat, you need to shield yourself and make use of the chimney effect.
The Bedouin lesson: A scientific study proves robes are the best garment to wear in the desert heat
A Bedouin outfit might not fit socially, but a loose summer dress might work just as well.
So as a counter to the "pants for women" movement, let's start a "summer dresses for everyone" movement.

Add to that, that all these old UK houses have about as much insulation as a cereal box.

Europe and the UK
You can just say Europe.
Nope, UK is not part of Europe anymore

When do we start shoving the people responsible into prisons? The airlines, car, weapon manufacturers,...
That would be inhumane, they don't have AC in prisons.

Shame I'm a fat old guy now. A few decades back I looked great in a Laura Ashley summer dress.

If anyone is interested, it's X Celsius times 9/5 + 32
"Double it and add thirty" is accurate enough for ambient temperatures, and easier to do in your head. If you need scientific accuracy then you wouldn't be using Fahrenheit anyway.

Lets all fly with our private jets to venice for a wedding!
oh also you cant use plastic straws cause its bad for the environment.
Do not Lockerbie them.
I'm joking (don't kill people) but it's strange that when I grew up there were people all over the place blowing stuff up because they thought they were wronged. Not so much today, not even blowing up an empty Elon jet for example.
