Gibraltar - at basically the southern tip of Spain, sit at roughly the same latitude as Nashville, TN and Las Vegas.
London - Calgary, Canada would be 35 miles south of London.
Rome would be 32 miles north of New York City.
My point is, we wouldn't be shaming Canadians for having to buy AC when they've never had to before.
Do you understand how the climate works? The Gulf Stream keeps Europe very moderate. To compare Canada to western Europe climate because they’re at the same latitude is ignorant.

Someone already tried that point, and like you, didn't Google before trying to make it.
68% of Canada has A/C vs 20% of Europe.
Also, as someone pointed out, Europe actually stays warmer than Canada due to the Gulf Stream.
quote:
Europe stays warmer than Canada, even in places that are farther north, because warm Atlantic Ocean currents (the Gulf Stream system) and prevailing westerly winds bring mild ocean air into Europe. Europe is also more exposed to the ocean and lacks a massive north–south mountain barrier, so that mild air can travel far inland. In contrast, Canada is more continental, is frequently exposed to cold Arctic air, and the Rocky Mountains help block Pacific maritime air from reaching much of the interior. Together, these factors make European winters much milder than those in Canada at similar latitudes.
Being further North is only one factor. All you had to do was Google

You are kidding, right? France has a love affair with nuclear power.

It's not Europe as a whole. It's country by country. Germany, for instance, hates it.

Yep, I don t get that either, they really could benefit from it. I guess it's a waste issue. France has places where it can dispose of the stuff like in Africa that the Germans don't.

Not widely adopted A/C.
Maybe they are waiting on more money from the US tax payers?
