Air conditioners are not the best for the planet long term, but Europeans may need to care a bit more about themselves in the short term and start installing more of them.
Are you suggesting that the things you mention are not true? There’s probably a reason why people keep mentioning them, no?
No matter what, we are all in the climate crisis together, and everyone, including Americans, must do everything we can to make better choices when it comes to climate.

Shouldn’t you be mentioning them to the Germans and the Swedes, since the former uses the same drywall Americans do and the latter builds with wood? We get bitched at but never them, so it’s not actually about the materials.
You guys have never seen a window screen before and politely assume there’s no real-world reason they’re needed here. The answer is bugs. LOTS of bugs. Diseased bugs. Putrid bugs that breed like hell. Bugs who spray you with little drops of acid. Those don’t exist where you live, so you have neat windows.
I agree that we’re supposed to be in this shit together. It’s fucking maddening that every time a disaster happens in Europe, it feels like the majority of us empathize with you guys, but the second half an opportunity arises here, Europeans point and laugh. Often about things they don’t fully get or that were their fault to begin with.

What? I live in Germany, I have window screens and the neat windows. Do you think you can’t but bug screens on a European window?
I live in the States. Well aware of the bugs. There are bugs in Europe, too. Just FYI.
But that’s not the point. Americans still have to do a lot more. A mindset change is needed when it comes to climate.
