Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Europe’s Heatwaves: Breaking Records & Comfort Levels

• Extreme Temperatures:
  • Paris recently reached 104°F (about 40°C), a record only matched three other times since record-keeping began.
  • Ryan Knudson sets the scene: “Europe has reached a boiling point, perhaps.” (00:32)
  • Dalton: “It's been exceptionally hot...hotter than I've ever experienced since I moved to Europe nearly two decades ago.” (00:47)

2. Air Conditioning Penetration Across Europe

• Low AC Adoption:
  • Southern Europe: Italy has about 56-57% household AC adoption.
  • France: Around 25%.
  • UK: Only about 5%. (01:25)
• Why Not Just Get AC?
  • Dalton: “There are a lot of obstacles to installing it.” (01:43)
  • He highlights higher energy costs, environmental worries, cultural pride, and aesthetic concerns.

3. Cultural Differences: U.S. vs. Europe on Cooling

• AC Overuse in the U.S.:
  • Dalton, an American, shares his shock at the pervasiveness and power of American AC:
  • “I went to the supermarket next to my mother's house, and I was just, like, shivering. It was so cold.” (03:44)
  • Knudson mentions store clerks wearing winter coats indoors during summer due to strong AC. (04:09)

4. Traditional European Cooling Solutions

• Shutters and Passive Cooling:
  • Historic use of shutters and cross-ventilation kept apartments cool—until nights stopped cooling off due to climate change. (05:09)
  • Dalton: “If the nights are not going to cool down, the whole system that Europe has relied on...kind of doesn't work anymore.” (05:09)

5. Barriers to Installing AC

• Economic:
  • Energy and electricity are much costlier in Europe than the U.S. (05:49)
• Environmental:
  • Concerns over climate impact—both long-term greenhouse emissions and short-term “urban warming” from AC exhaust. (06:18)
• Grid Stress:
  • AC spikes electricity demand; U.S. “peak demand” is attributable to it, something Europe fears replicating. (06:34)
• Aesthetics & Architecture:
  • Paris protects its 5-story limestone Haussmanian facades:
    • Dalton: “They consider [window AC units] to be a blight on the architecture of France.” (07:04)

6. Public Institutions & Human Toll

• Hospitals, Schools, Nursing Homes Often Uncooled:
  • “In particular, if you're in...a hospital or...a nursing home...many of which are not air conditioned. The temperature in those places is...well into the 90s.” (07:48–08:01)
• Economic & Social Impact:
  • Factories closed, schools sent children home, rail lines suspended during heat waves.
  • ING Bank likened recent closures to pandemic lockdown disruptions. (08:28)
• Mortality:
  • “Tens of thousands” die annually from heat-related causes in Europe vs. ~1,000 in the US. (08:28)

7. Changing Attitudes Toward AC

• Increased public acceptance:
  • Dalton: “There have been a number of public opinion polls that show that more Europeans want air conditioning. Absolutely…objections are melting.” (09:02)

8. Bureaucratic and Legal Hurdles

• Getting AC Can Be a Nightmare:
  • Matthew shares a case of a disabled Parisian man, whose building residents refused to allow AC despite his medical need. Case in court for two years. (11:15–12:34)

9. The Political Battleground

• Pro-AC Arguments:
  • Mostly from the political right (e.g., France’s National Rally/Far Right), arguing for mass AC installation, especially leveraging France’s nuclear and solar-heavy grid. (13:38)
• Anti-AC/Environmentalist Concerns:
  • From the left and cultural traditionalists, emphasizing climate leadership and architectural integrity.

10. Policy and Regulatory Roadblocks

• Paris Restrictions:
  • Strict noise limits (5 dB day, 3 dB night—about a whisper) make most AC units non-compliant without heavy soundproofing. (15:09–15:17)
  • Dalton: “With those rules, you pretty much have to install some kind of, like, soundproofing over your AC…” (15:30)
• "Noise Lawyers":
  • Surge in legal battles about AC; some Paris lawyers specialize only in these disputes (over a hundred cases). (16:04)

11. Alternative Cooling Methods

• Survival Strategies:
  • Wet towels, portable fans, lingering in supermarkets (notably Picard, a frozen food chain), sleeping with cold compresses. (17:22)
  • “Spending the day in supermarkets which are air conditioned…even in the supermarkets in France, it's not as cool as…a supermarket in the U.S.” (17:39)

12. Future Projections & Warnings

• Warming Trends:

  • Climate scientists warn of future summers hitting 50°C/120°F. (18:41)
  • Dalton: “That is a situation where the city does not become livable during the summer without air conditioning.” (18:51)
  • He warns European decision-makers aren’t yet accepting the scale of the challenge. (18:51)

• Dalton predicts:

  • “I do not think they're ever going to go the whole hog, like…American air conditioning. The just the force of American air conditioning, I think, will never catch on here.” (19:12)

Transcript

[Ryan Knudson]

This summer, Europe has been really hot, hotter than usual.

[Sponsor/Advertisement Voice]

From Paris to Madrid to London, locals and tourists are scrambling to stay cool.

[Ryan Knudson]

There are soaring temperatures.

[Sponsor/Advertisement Voice]

With heat alerts and public health measures

[Matthew Dalton]

in place in many countries, the severe heat wave continues to batter us here in France, with temperatures hovering once again across much of the country. At around 40 degrees Celsius, Europe has

[Ryan Knudson]

reached a boiling point, perhaps.

[Matthew Dalton]

Yeah, it's reached a sweating point. Definitely. Everyone is sweating.

[Ryan Knudson]

Our colleague Matthew Dalton has been covering the heat wave from Paris, where he lives. What's the weather been like there in Paris?

[Matthew Dalton]

It's been exceptionally hot. It's been hotter than I've ever experienced since I moved to Europe nearly two decades ago. I think a lot of people are suffering. It's just kind of miserable.

[Ryan Knudson]

Temperatures in Paris recently hit about 104 degrees Fahrenheit. That's only happened on three other days since they began keeping records. The weather is like normally awkward small talk, but here it's actually relevant.

[Matthew Dalton]

Yeah, it's like, how's the weather? That's the big news these days.

[Ryan Knudson]

One reason this is such big news in Europe is because the continent doesn't have nearly as much air conditioning as

[Matthew Dalton]

the U.S. it depends where you are in the continent and Southern Europe, there tends to be more air conditioning. Obviously, it's hotter. In Italy, it's around 56%. 57% of households have air conditioning. In France, a quarter of households have air conditioning. In the UK, it's around 5%.

[Ryan Knudson]

Why not just get AC?

[Matthew Dalton]

Well, there's a lot more demand for AC right now, I would say, but there are a lot of obstacles to installing it in the continent.

[Ryan Knudson]

Welcome to the Journal, our show about money, business and power. I'm Ryan knudson. It's Tuesday, July 7th. Coming up on the show, Europe is hot as hell. Why doesn't it want ac?

[Ryan Knudson]

You are from the U.S. i can tell by your accent. Or I will make the assumption.

[Matthew Dalton]

Yep. Grew up in New York City, Matt

[Ryan Knudson]

has lived in Europe for nearly two decades. And every time he comes back to America in the summer, he's always a little taken aback by how strong the AC is.

[Matthew Dalton]

When I visit my family, like in the US and, you know, we're staying in the same place at night, it's like, you know, maybe 72 degrees, 75 degrees. And yet I hear their air conditioning just, like, rattling away. I'm like, I mean, come on, guys. It's like, it's not that hot. I was back home recently in New York, and I went to the supermarket next to my mother's house, and I was just, like, shivering. It was so cold.

[Ryan Knudson]

There's a clerk that works at one of my local grocery stores who all summer long is bundled up like she's wearing a winter coat and a beanie because it's so cold in there.

[Matthew Dalton]

I mean, I think that's a common thing that Europeans have when they come to the United States is just marveling,

[Ryan Knudson]

oh, this is glorious. Absolutely glorious.

[Matthew Dalton]

It's like stepping into a fridge,

[Ryan Knudson]

living the dream.

[Matthew Dalton]

The thought of American air conditioning sends shivers literally through a lot of Europeans for several reasons.

[Ryan Knudson]

For a long time, most of Europe didn't need air conditioning because Europe's climate has generally been cooler with more mild summers.

[Matthew Dalton]

The main concern for Europeans has been keeping warm in the winter, not staying cool in the summer.

[Ryan Knudson]

When it did get hot. A lot of European buildings had a simple solution, window shutters. At night, you open the windows and shutters to let the cool air in. And then when the sun rises in the morning, you shut them and block out the sun.

[Matthew Dalton]

It works quite well. And then when the sun goes down or when the sun is no longer shining on that part of your residence, you can open the shutters. The problem is that doesn't work if it doesn't cool down at night, which is what happened in the last heat wave, you know, if the nights are not going to cool down. The whole system that Europe has relied on when it has been hot to keep cool and to keep the heat out kind of doesn't work anymore.

[Ryan Knudson]

As Europe has gotten hotter, there's been resistance to installing air conditioning. There's a few reasons why. First, AC is expensive, especially in Europe, which is mostly an importer of fossil fuels.

[Matthew Dalton]

Energy is more expensive in Europe. Electricity is more expensive. So consuming energy, you know, paying the bills to run your air conditioning a lot is a more expensive proposition in Europe than it is in the United States.

[Ryan Knudson]

Second, there's a bit of cultural pride in not relying so much on ac. And then there's climate change. Europe has thought to be a climate leader, and people there are concerned about how AC contributes to global warming and not just in the long term.

[Matthew Dalton]

There's a lot of concern about academic. The exhaust heat from air conditioners making cities hotter. All the waste heat that is ejected from the back of air conditioners, which warms up a city. You know, you might be talking like 1 to 2 degrees Celsius.

[Ryan Knudson]

AC also puts a lot of pressure on the power grid.

[Matthew Dalton]

Then there's the question of just all the additional electricity demand from using air conditioners, which, you know, in the United States, that's when we had peak electricity demand, is when all the air conditioners turn on. You know, if there's widespread air conditioner installations, that would probably pretty drastically change the patterns of power demand in Europe.

[Ryan Knudson]

Matt says there's also an aesthetic concern. Many Parisians, for instance, view air conditioning as not only potentially harmful, but noisy and ugly.

[Matthew Dalton]

The Parisians are. And the French government is very protective of the iconic Haussmanian facade of many buildings in Paris, which is. The Haussmanian facade is five stories, limestone, the iconic Paris street. That government does not want to allow people to start putting the convector units of the window AC or the convector units through the wall of these facades. They consider that to be a blight on the architecture of France.

[Ryan Knudson]

As a result of the AC resistance, places like schools, public buildings, and even hospitals are often left boiling in a heat wave like the one Europe just had.

[Matthew Dalton]

It sucks. In particular, if you're in, like a hospital or if you're in a nursing home, many of which are not air conditioned. The temperature in those places is 35 degrees, often 35 degrees Celsius. That's.

[Ryan Knudson]

That's in the 90s, right?

[Matthew Dalton]

Well into the 90s.

[Ryan Knudson]

That's 95 degrees Fahrenheit. There have been reports of medical staff getting sick due to the intense heat in hospitals.

[Matthew Dalton]

There have been a number of factories that have shut down during the heat wave. Others are cutting back their hours not working during the height of the day. You know, if the temperatures keep moving in this direction, generally speaking, it's going to be a macroeconomic problem when it gets too hot.

[Ryan Knudson]

Schools in Europe close, forcing parents to stay home. Many businesses shut down factories cut production, rail lines get suspended. Economists at the Dutch bank ING said closures during the recent heat wave quote brought back memories of the pandemic lockdowns. And there's a real human toll. Tens of thousands of people die a year from heat related causes in Europe. That's compared to approximately 1000 in the US. Have you started to see that this is changing how people feel about air conditioning at all?

[Matthew Dalton]

It already has changed because just the heat has become too much for many. I think that there have been a number of public opinion polls that show that more Europeans want air conditioning. Absolutely. I think now that the climate in Europe is warming so quickly, objections are melting.

[Ryan Knudson]

But even when people want AC in Europe, it can be really hard to get that's after the break.

[Ryan Knudson]

Our colleague Matt spoke to one man in Paris who says he needs air conditioning to survive and it's still been a huge struggle to get it.

[Matthew Dalton]

Yeah so he has a rare genetic illness. He has a form of myopathy, and he lives in a wheelchair. He's largely paralyzed. He breathes with a ventilator. And his parents bought him an apartment on the ground floor of a building in the Marais in Paris, which is a very touristy, bustling neighborhood in the center of Paris. And his parents wanted to install an air conditioner in his apartment to make him comfortable. His doctor said he needs it because he breathes with a ventilator.

[Ryan Knudson]

The man had to get permission from the other apartment owners in the building to install air conditioning, but they said no. His family says they were told the AC unit would be too loud, and if the building made an exception for him, they'd have to make an exception for everybody.

[Matthew Dalton]

So during this latest heat wave, he was quite hot in his apartment. It was not pleasant, and the air conditioning system was, you know, sitting on the floor ready to be installed. But his parents have taken the neighbors to court, and they've been fighting this for two years and counting.

[Ryan Knudson]

In the midst of this summer's heat wave, AC has become a bigger political issue in a lot of Europe.

[Matthew Dalton]

There has been a lot of political debate now about air conditioning in France. The far right, Marine Le Pen's party, has been criticizing the government for not pursuing a major plan of air conditioning investment across institutions, schools, hospitals, nursing homes. The pro AC camp is generally on the right. They don't want to worry too much about the environmental impact when they're talking about ac. We should invest as needed to be cool in this new era. And I would say generally, the more environmentally minded, those on the left, and just a number of people who have a general kind of queasiness, unease about air conditioning, they say that we're going to need some more air conditioning, but we shouldn't be approaching US Style air conditioning levels.

[Ryan Knudson]

The pro AC camp argues that France mainly relies on nuclear and solar power, so that impact could be minimal.

[Matthew Dalton]

One good thing about solar power in particular is that the times when you need air conditioning are the times is

[Ryan Knudson]

when the sun is shining.

[Matthew Dalton]

Exactly. So that's one of the great things about solar electricity. So if you know, there are definitely

[Ryan Knudson]

technological solutions still, all those environmental, political and cultural concerns make it an uphill battle for Parisians who want ac. And in Paris, where our colleague Matt is based, there are a lot of rules and red tape to installing it.

[Matthew Dalton]

The city of Paris is very concerned about people and individual households and apartment owners rushing to all install air conditioning. Like, they consider that to be a big Problem. Their attitude is we should have institutions that need it, like hospitals, nursing homes, schools. Those should have some air conditioning, I guess. Offices also should have some air conditioning. But we should do everything possible to avoid, like, air conditioning on a mass scale. Like, they don't want the Paris streets to, during the height of summer, to sound like a New York City street during a heat wave, which is, like, the humor of the air conditioner compressor, like, everywhere, which, it doesn't bother me. But for, like, the Parisians, that is a very foreign and, like, undesirable outcome.

[Ryan Knudson]

In Paris, an air conditioner can't produce more than 5 decibels during the day and 3 decibels at night. If you're wondering how loud that is,

[Matthew Dalton]

it's about the sound of a whisper. Five decibels and three decibels. That is very, very quiet.

[Ryan Knudson]

Yeah, that's got to restrict, like, every. What AC unit operates more quietly than that?

[Matthew Dalton]

Well, that's the thing is that with those rules, you pretty much have to install some kind of, like, soundproofing over your AC to comply with the rules. Another thing you can do that a lot of people do is put the outside unit on the roof, and that way the noise escapes a little bit better. Like, if you put it in a courtyard, it does tend to reverberate off the stone walls of the courtyard. And so that can be particularly problematic. But still, yeah, it is very hard to install an air conditioner in a Paris apartment. It can take years.

[Ryan Knudson]

The noise issue is so common that there's a guy in Paris who calls himself a noise lawyer. He's worked more than a hundred of these cases.

[Matthew Dalton]

So that's Christophe Saintson. He makes a living off of representing either neighbors who are trying to stop tenants from installing air conditioning or representing people who are trying to install air conditioning and are fighting their neighbors. And, yeah, he's got hundreds of cases in this line of work. And, you know, since the temperatures have been going up in recent years, he's had a sharp increase in the number of legal disputes involving air conditioning.

[Ryan Knudson]

The noise lawyer's perspective is basically that Paris is dense. The noise laws are strict, the temperatures are warming, and residents are going to have to find ways to compromise.

[Matthew Dalton]

It's not like Paris is a quiet city. I mean, for God's sakes, like, I have an incredibly yappy dog who lives upstairs from me, and, like, you know, it's like, way louder than, like, the faint buzz of air conditioning. But that's the law.

[Ryan Knudson]

Paris has taken some measures to try and offset the Summer heat. The city's planted more trees which can help keep the streets cooler. It's installing AC in at least one room in many schools. And it's also opened up rivers to the public for swimming. And Matt says that the French people have ways of coping.

[Matthew Dalton]

A lot of people have those little fans. Everybody has like different strategies. Some people have been, you know, like sleeping with like a wet towel over them. Like a cold wet towel if they can get the water cold enough. You know, I've heard stories of people like spending the day in supermarkets which are air conditioned.

[Ryan Knudson]

Just lingering by the B file.

[Matthew Dalton]

Yeah, exactly. There's, there's actually a, there's a frozen food chain which French people love called Picard. And yeah, like I know people who have been hanging out in Picard because it's like extra cold and you know, that's what they do is like keep things cool. But you know, even in the supermarkets in France, like it's not as cool as, as like a supermarket in the United States. Those measures are not as effective. Has air conditioning.

[Ryan Knudson]

You can swim in the afternoon and cool off a bit, but come 10 o' clock at night, if it's 90 degrees in your apartment, that's not going to help.

[Matthew Dalton]

Yeah, this latest heat wave was the first time I ever felt like we absolutely needed air conditioning going forward. And so, yeah, I did get a portable air conditioner which is, unfortunately they're just not that effective. Like a real air conditioner would have been nice, but that's not an option in my building right now.

[Ryan Knudson]

Climate scientists estimate that in the next decade, Europe could face summers with temperatures as high as 50 degrees Celsius or 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

[Matthew Dalton]

That is a situation where like, you know, the city does not become livable during the summer without air conditioning. So like, I think they're, they're not quite grasping the gravity and like the magnitude of the problem that Europe is going to be facing.

[Ryan Knudson]

But either way, like, this is a problem that the continent is going to have to continue facing.

[Matthew Dalton]

Absolutely. Europe has already warmed faster than any other continent. That goes from just being kind of sweaty and uncomfortable to like actually dangerous for, you know, significant portions of the population if you don't have air conditioning. But I do not think they're ever going to go the whole hog. Like, you know, American can. The just the force of American air conditioning, I think will never catch on here.
