A good overview of architectural and planning deficiencies in combatting extreme heat. The report isn’t anti aircon but the wasteful inefficient technology available on the mass market. I have a spray bottle that cost me a pound and if things get really hot I might turn on a fan while I spray cold water on myself.

Inevitably, an area with the potential for emissions to rise fast will get a lot of attention. But A/C shouldn't be a long term problem, because it's purely a matter of electricity supply, unlike some highly polluting industrial processes (where carbon capture will probably be necessary). And it should be fairly straightforward to balance A/C use with high solar energy production. So I don't quite the concern with A/C.
