This has also one of the arguments against AC in France, shame on you for wanting to moving the hot air from inside to outside.

- joxdosba 3mo agoIt’s pretty incredible, especially given that the free education in France is actually rather decent.
- prmoustache 3mo agoA few AC is one thing. Many AC in a limited space covered in concrete with almost zero tree in the area is another thing. We need to be more specific about what we are talking about. Anyway ACs are not enough in a city. ideally you also want streets with a significant amount of trees and greenery so that there is significant shade and heat from sunlight doesn't radiate too much from concrete/pavement.
- joxdosba 3mo agoFrance is not under threat from this.
- stevenhuang 3mo agoIt's not a uniquely France thing. It's called heat islands, it's a real thing that happens in dense metros. Very funny to deride France education when you are the ignorant one here.
- f6v 3mo agoWell, you can wait for greenery to be planted and grow around houses. It'll take 10-20 years. Or you can wait for your landlord to install the shutters (will never happen). Alternatively, you can get a portable inefficient AC and save yourself from 40 degree heat in a rooftop apartment. The mental toll of sweating 24/7 for months is just too big to theorize about the best way to combat global warming.
- B1FF_PSUVM 3mo agoThey're also missing the winter bit, where an AC heatpump needs three ou four times less energy than a resistive heater ... oh well.
- JackSlateur 3mo agoOnce moved, you have more hot air. No free lunch.
