This intense discomfort is a couple nights a year.
Like, we can deal with it when it gets bad.
The rest of the year, there's no need for air conditioning.

Climate change is the global answer, but there is a more Europe-specific answer, too, which is how climate change is playing out there.
A big part of the reason that Europe is warming faster is because of proximity to the Arctic.
The Arctic is the fastest warming part of the whole planet.
And why is that?
It's because this place that had snow cover and ice basically was like a white reflecting sheet.
And that whiteness is now being lost and gradually turning into more darker surfaces, dark waters, places where there's no longer ice or snow.
And now, whereas the sun used to bounce back up, now that radiation heat is being absorbed into the waters.
You can think of it like a T-shirt on a hot day.
We wear a white T-shirt, it bounces back the heat.
You wear a black T-shirt... You're extremely hot.
