Just get AC and don’t worry about it! Pretty soon the billionaires are going to share all their money with us while robots do our jobs and we fly around in awesome rocket cars!!

There’s no way @npr.org you guys let this be a headline. “Helped” and “kill humans” shouldn’t be in the same line esp coming from you guys. Please do better 🤦🏾‍♂️

I appreciate they care about climate change, but governments are going to have to invest in windmills & solor unless they change their restrictions & get ACs. In South Europe, like Spain & Italy 50%-57% have air conditioners, but central & Northern have 5% like Germany & 6% in the UK where less hot.

This is heartbreaking. Extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable; it’s a serious public health crisis, especially for older people and vulnerable communities. Governments need better heat action plans, cooling centers and early warnings. Climate change is already affecting lives.
