Alright, I have phrased my question wrong. English is not my first language and I tend to be a bit absolute. I meant that I am opposed to A/C because I feel that we -as society- have postponed our responsibility towards eco-friendliness. Additionally A/C worsense the heat outside of your house.
My conserne was not only about A/C since as pointed out heat-pumps or evaporative coolers can cost (money and energy wise) if not more the same. I made this post to hear thoughts on how we can combat heat collectively and not how as individuals we can protect ourselves temporarily.
I found a lot of ideas quite interesting. I believe that small changes could have an impact. So far I think the points bellow would help:
Implementation of PDRC to large areas of cities
Planting trees in the cities
Blocking all sun rays so they don’t reach glass windows
Constructing underground Air conditioning facilities such as those in China (50% more efficient)
Raise awarness for the significance of drinnking water
and so on…
I am not completely opposed to technological advancements such as A/C. However I am keen on the aware use for the least hurtful use of it. I believe that Air conditioning by itself is not a viable solution. Sorry for not being more analitical.
Since I switched to linux, I have only used mpv. It is far more costumizable, has a ton of keybinds. Also in my expirience it has a lot less bugs, however my usecase is pretty common.
