Europeans are cheap, penny pinching people in a lot if ways.
Tipping, A/C, all you can eat buffets are just not done here.
It’s more of a consumer attitude than anything else.
So you maintain that they are sitting on piles of money but just not spending it?
They are poorer.

As well they should.

They’ve been getting much worse and longer heat waves the past 30 years. Glaciers are disappearing quickly throughout the alps, like the rest of the world.
There’s a reason for all this that isn’t so popular with the crowd around here.

If people bought so much into climate change, why the hell didn’t they have air conditioning? That should be the first thing you invest in if you believe in manmade climate change.
AC doesn't make people more miserable so it obviously isn't "green"...or something

I’m not sure that passes the smell test for me, as I was in Europe (including Rome) on multiple occasions during “heat waves.”
My first question is, did the methodology change.
My second is, were the instruments used to measure this increase moved.
IIRC, Australia and New Zealand moved their measuring stations to places where the heat was more pronounced. Think moving it from a Park, to the plaza of tall, glass office buildings.
Global warming becoming a political tool was when the data really began to “skew.”
It is warming, but to that degree? Not in my personal experience.

I actually saw a pretty interesting TikTok the other day from a Chinese creator when asked about why places like Mexico can create free social healthcare but the US can't
His response was basically that places like Europe and Mexico have to provide these things as a way to keep their populace ignorant from their widespread lack of competitiveness and sluggish economies whereas places like China and the US don't need to do the same and will continue to dominate because of that
Was an interesting perspective

There have been multiple instances of the gatekeepers (scientists) manipulating data in these cases.

Because, as they so frequently do, greenies stumbled into another conundrum.

The funny thing about China is that most of what people see are the big cities. Rural China is about as third world as it gets.
I mean, that's the same everywhere, its not like tourists coming over here are flocking to Bunkie, Ellick or DeShitter and posting that on Youtube.

It’s kinda funny except you have to remember that only like 50000 people die from heat in Europe every year
It’s like if the sun were a gun

What they aren’t showing are the family of five living in a cardboard box on the side of a highway. Which is what I saw last time I was in China.
You will see way more of that in the USA. That is an absolute fact. Just because you saw a homeless family in a country of 1.41 billion people is nothing. The USA has 750k+ homeless people including a large contingency of families. You do not see that in China. Homelessness is treated differently there. Can you imagine if the USA had 1.41 billion people? There would be millions of homeless people everywhere.

Nobody ever said that Europeans don’t have refrigerators

It's called coming out of an ice age.

Opting not to have AC is not at all the same as being ordered by the government not to have AC.
I’ve been to Rome in the low 90s and I absolutely wanted AC, I’m glad your flat did well with it.

Fun thread.
I just bumped my thermostat down two degrees.

That's because the mini ice age that lasted roughly 350 years ended in the early-mid 90's and we are still coming out of it you fricking moron.
You climate alarmists are a special kind of retarded.
