このページは、ヨーロッパの異常気象とエアコン(AC)使用に関する議論を取り上げています。特にフランス、ドイツ、英国などで記録的な熱波が発生し、ACの使用率が低いことが焦点となっています。特にアメリカと比較してACの利用が少なく、これは文化的な理由も影響しているとされています。著名人や右派政党はAC使用を支持する一方で、気候変動に対処する努力には反対しています。しかし、気候変動によって高温の日が増加している事実が見落とされています。この記事では、ヨーロッパにおけるACの利用状況や、ACに関するさまざまな誤解を8つの事実を通じて解説しています。

AC is already widely used in hotter parts of Europe Some European nations have ‘resisted’ AC – but its popularity is growing AC emissions are growing, but its climate impact could be limited Heat from AC can contribute to directly warming cities More AC could help to reduce heat deaths in Europe ‘Net-zero rules’ are not blocking AC installation in the UK AC is not the only answer to overheating cities Much of Europe has not needed AC in the past
