Yep, and Americans answering with "we're ok because we have AC" is a Don't Look Up moment
where are these americans saying "we're ok because we have AC"?
The truth is a lot (probably most) of Americans don't have AC. It wasn't really needed in most places until a few years ago. A lot of people rent and a lot of states don't legally require AC in a rental. Because of that landlords refuse to install AC. If states started requiring it things would look a lot different.
Nearly every state mandates AC. I haven't seen a home in the US without it in nearly thirty years.
I know the Northwest and Alaska are special but nearly every other home has it - according to the EIA, about 90% of them.
