- polote 6y agoReversible ac are more energy efficient that heater, x3 I think
- bluGill 6y agoGlobal warming is not that much difference. People just can afford ac now so they buy it.
- r00fus 6y agoGiven I have skipped last year (due to COVID) but we'd been in France every summer for the previous 5 years and it's gotten hotter and hotter - resulting successive record breaking summers. I think the decline of the jet stream is a bigger deal for Europe than the US. Hotter summers and colder winters.
