THE AIR-CONDITIONING WARS: ‘Modern’ Europe Faces the Summer With a Lot of Climate Panic and No A/C’s

European Globalists whine and refuse to modernize in the name of their favorite fiction: ‘man-made global warming’.

This last week, European Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen caught ‘a lot of heat’. Why? She decided that the European Commission HQ in Brussels would shut off air conditioning from floors 0 to 7 during Brussels’ summer heatwave.

That’s asinine, of course. But the worst: floors 8 to 13 — where von der Leyen works — remain icy cold with the simple technological gadgets that anyone in the rest of the world can enjoy.

Nowadays, every summer, the overlords utilize the hot weather to violently push their ‘net-zero lunacy’ on the populations, while refusing the obvious solutions.

Europe is sweating through a nasty heatwave this week.

The European Commission’s brilliant solution inside its main building in Brussels?

Forced shutdown of the air conditioning on floors 1 through 7.

Meanwhile floors 8 and above stayed perfectly cool.

Euronews reported:

“Once considered an unnecessary luxury across much of Europe, air conditioning has become one of the continent’s most politically charged household appliances after nearly two weeks of extreme and deadly temperatures. For decades, Europe distinguished itself from hotter parts of the world by relying on thick masonry buildings, shutters, tree-lined streets and mild summers. Air conditioning remained relatively uncommon, particularly in northern and western Europe but climate change could alter that reality.”

‘Climate change’, right? Their obsession.

When we hear Europeans treating 35°C as a calamity, we cannot help but smile at their lack of knowledge and gullibility. But when we hear that in Germany, for example, even surgical rooms do not have A/C, we start to wonder if they are not killing people on purpose.

“Climate advocates and government officials warn that widespread adoption of air conditioning risks creating a vicious cycle. More cooling requires more expensive electricity, increasing demand during heat waves when power systems are already under strain.”

The warning comes from ‘climate advocates and government officials’ – but there is no difference between these two categories.

All the planet uses A/C – but Europeans think they are the center of the world and know better.

“However, the debate over air conditioning moved into the spotlight after French lawmaker Marine Le Pen (Front National) called for a mass, subsidized roll-out of the cooling appliance, with traditionally hostile Greens conceding that some air-conditioning may now be inevitable.”

[…] Air conditioning ownership has surpassed 1.5 billion units globally, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), yet usage varies widely across regions. While 90% of homes in the United States have air conditioning units, the figure is just 20% in European homes, the IEA said.”

The EU Commission says it has no “pro or contra” position on air conditioning despite Europe swelters through another heatwave.
