Air conditioning is now political. Where do you stand?

@levelsio

It's a real thing apparently: far right is pro-AC, far left is anti-AC. How did air conditioning become the political battleground of choice in Europe?

@lfg_uk

Britain will do literally anything before making energy cheap and installing air conditioning.

@maxtempers

In Soviet Britain, there is a cooling hierarchy with five tiers you must prove to your council you've exhausted before you're allowed to install air conditioning. Otherwise it's taken down.

@Geiger_Capital

Europeans saying the US air conditioning its stadiums contributes to climate change. Thank you for your sacrifice. (You are irrelevant, it's all China.)

@therealmissjo

A French school: a child fainted in 40C heat, so parents raised 2,000 euros in three days for portable AC. The communist mayor ordered it removed because it sets a precedent.

@TrungTPhan

Lee Kuan Yew called air conditioning one of the signal inventions of history. The first thing he did as PM was install it in the buildings where the civil service worked.
