Despite the deadly heat, many European countries have enacted policies influenced by decades of climate alarmism, prioritizing emission reductions over human comfort and safety. These policies have led to higher living costs, energy shortages, blackouts, and increased heat-related deaths, which are largely preventable. The piece criticizes the shift from small environmental gestures to restrictive mandates that sacrifice modern conveniences and lives, highlighting how energy policies and climate orthodoxy have contributed to lower standards of living, especially in Europe. It emphasizes that European efforts to achieve net-zero emissions have resulted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/progressives-push-biden-to-include-10-trillion-climate-plan-in-infrastructure-package\/\" title=\"Progressives Push Biden to Include  Trillion Climate Plan in Infrastructure Package\">higher energy prices<\/a>, poorer living conditions, and increased reliance on unreliable renewable sources. The article advocates for rejecting ideological extremes and balancing environmental goals with human welfare, asserting that modern comforts like air conditioning should not be sacrificed in the name of climate purity. Helen Raleigh, a contributor to The Federalist, concludes by calling for common-sense policies that protect lives without undermining progress.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/modern-air-conditioner-control-panel-close-up-32737485\/\">Geri Tech \/ Pexels<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/07\/01\/air-conditioning-bans-are-latest-example-of-climate-alarmism-damaging-lives\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Air Conditioning Bans Are Latest Example Of Climate Alarmism Damaging Lives&#038;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/07\/01\/air-conditioning-bans-are-latest-example-of-climate-alarmism-damaging-lives\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Air Conditioning Bans Are Latest Example Of Climate Alarmism Damaging Lives&#038;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/07\/01\/air-conditioning-bans-are-latest-example-of-climate-alarmism-damaging-lives\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/07\/01\/air-conditioning-bans-are-latest-example-of-climate-alarmism-damaging-lives\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Air Conditioning Bans Are Latest Example Of Climate Alarmism Damaging Lives&#038;body=Climate orthodoxy has cultivated a culture that accepts lower standards of living and rejects modern comforts in the name of fighting climate change.%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/07\/01\/air-conditioning-bans-are-latest-example-of-climate-alarmism-damaging-lives\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\">                     <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &#038; Email\">                     <span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span>                     <\/a>                 <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany\u2019s public broadcaster ARD has recently <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Polymarket\/status\/2071211374567383194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rolled out<\/a> an \u201canti-AC campaign,\u201d alarming citizens about the supposed \u201cdangers\u201d of air conditioning. This initiative seems particularly misguided as Europe grapples with a severe heat wave that has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/environment\/power-cuts-france-leave-thousands-sweltering-amid-scorching-heatwave-2026-06-24\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">compelled<\/a> governments to close schools, shut down iconic tourist sites, reduce business hours, and, most tragically, led to dozens of fatalities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s happening in Europe is the grim outcome of two decades steeped in climate dogma: minor inconveniences have transformed into rigid policies and cultural norms that prioritize emission reductions over human survival.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-326980162\" class=\"d-flex justify-content-center fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 fdrlst__b89e9-entity-placement\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the past 20 years, we have been told that climate change poses the greatest existential threat to humanity. We have been urged to take immediate action, even if it means sacrificing comfort and convenience, to avert catastrophe. The initial proposed solutions included silly but manageable changes, such as banning plastic grocery bags and paper straws. However, the demands have escalated to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-12800019\/meat-consumption-climate-change-global-emissions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">campaigns<\/a>  aimed at <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >drastically reducing meat consumption<\/a>, increasing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2023-01-09\/us-safety-agency-to-consider-ban-on-gas-stoves-amid-health-fears\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">calls<\/a> to restrict gas stoves, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/politics-news\/biden-sign-order-aiming-half-new-vehicles-be-electric-2030-n1275995\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">government mandates<\/a> encouraging drivers to switch from gas-powered cars to electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of these measures have caused daily inconveniences. We\u2019ve learned to sip drinks quickly before paper straws dissolve. Others have raised the cost of living: electric stoves are typically more expensive than gas ones, and EVs can <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/weather-general-news-04029bd1e0a94cd59ff9540a398c12d1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lose significant range<\/a> in extreme heat or cold \u2014 as seen in viral videos of \u201cdead\u201d vehicles stranded at Chicago charging stations during subzero winters. We also face higher electricity bills and rolling blackouts as utilities shutter coal and gas plants in favor of intermittent solar and wind. In one case, a utility company even remotely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climate.news\/2022-09-08-power-company-takes-over-smart-thermostats-colorado.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">took control<\/a> of smart thermostats for thousands of Colorado households during peak summer heat, leaving homeowners powerless to intervene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people tolerated these inconveniences, higher costs, and even temporary loss of control as necessary sacrifices for the planet. Yet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/doi\/10.1126\/science.adl6547\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research<\/a> shows many measures deliver minimal CO\u2082\u00a0reductions\u00a0\u2014 and some are counterproductive. <a href=\"https:\/\/news.climate.columbia.edu\/2020\/04\/30\/plastic-paper-cotton-bags\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Life-cycle assessments<\/a>, for example, find that cotton reusable bags often have a much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/taylor-swift-who-believes-climate-change-is-a-horrific-situation-is-expected-to-fly-on-private-jet-from-japan-to-super-bowl-lviii\/\" title=\"Taylor Swift, who acknowledges the severity of ..., plans to travel by private jet from Japan to Super Bowl LVIII\">higher carbon footprint<\/a> than single-use plastic bags unless reused dozens or hundreds of times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Americans have at least taken some comfort in avoiding the full brunt of Europe\u2019s draconian demands. Europe positioned itself at the forefront of the climate crusade, chasing net-zero emissions by 2050. Many countries shuttered coal plants, phased out nuclear power, banned fracking, and curtailed natural gas production. These policies reduced affordable energy supplies, drove energy prices <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newgeography.com\/content\/006381-germany-went-totally-green-too-quickly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sharply higher<\/a>, and increased reliance on weather-dependent renewables. Shortly after Spain celebrated periods of 100 percent renewable electricity in 2025, the Iberian Peninsula suffered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.powermag.com\/anatomy-of-a-blackout-findings-from-the-spain-portugal-grid-collapse-final-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">massive blackout<\/a> affecting millions in Spain and Portugal for over 10 hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Europe\u2019s war on fossil fuels has also lowered living standards. Europeans today are much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/europeans-poorer-inflation-economy-255eb629\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poorer<\/a> than their American counterparts.\u00a0\u00a0The European Union\u2019s share of global consumption <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/europeans-poorer-inflation-economy-255eb629\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fell<\/a> from 25 percent in 2008 to 18 percent in 2019, while the U.S. share rose from 25 percent to 28 percent. Even in once-affluent cities like Brussels, Belgium, teachers and nurses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/europeans-poorer-inflation-economy-255eb629\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stood in line<\/a> for discounted groceries. In Germany, per capita meat consumption has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenqueen.com.hk\/germany-drops-meat-consumption-to-record-low\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dropped<\/a> to its lowest level since 1989.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, climate orthodoxy has cultivated a culture that accepts lower standards of living and rejects modern comforts in the name of fighting climate change. During the 2022-2023 energy crisis, European government campaigns <a href=\"https:\/\/energytransition.org\/2023\/11\/in-winter-2022-23-europeans-got-serious-about-energy-conservation-but-can-they-do-it-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">urged<\/a> people to turn down heating, take shorter showers, wear extra layers, and \u201cdon heavier sweaters and woolen socks\u201d to cut gas demand by 15 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">European climate crusaders\u2019 aversion to modern comforts extends to air conditioning, long framed as wasteful and sinful, with politicians pushing passive cooling instead. Today, only about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/climate\/europe-heat-air-conditioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">20<\/a> percent\u00a0of European homes have AC, compared to nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/climate\/europe-heat-air-conditioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">90<\/a> percent\u00a0in the United States. As this summer\u2019s heat wave pushes temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), even hospitals struggle with stifling wards where only select rooms have cooling. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The World Health Organization <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/europe\/news\/item\/11-06-2026-statement---europe-lost-200-000-people-to-heat-in-4-years-yet-nearly-all-of-them-were-preventable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">warned<\/a> that heat has claimed more than 200,000 lives across the EU and associated countries in the past four years, and nearly all preventable. France\u2019s weather agency has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/environment\/power-cuts-france-leave-thousands-sweltering-amid-scorching-heatwave-2026-06-24\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">noted<\/a> that current temperatures are comparable to the 2003 heat wave, underscoring that Europe is not experiencing unprecedented new extremes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While activists will blame every heat wave on climate change, the alarming rise in preventable heat deaths is a wake-up call. Within two decades, the narrative surrounding climate action has shifted from \u201csmall gestures for the planet\u201d to policies that endanger lives. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When leaders in Brussels <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/pietercleppe\/status\/2070528131794895345\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reportedly<\/a> keep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/europe-ban-on-importing-russian-coal-will-mean-even-higher-energy-prices\/\" title=\"... Ban on Importing Russian Coal Will Mean Even ...\">air conditioning running<\/a> on upper floors while restricting it for those below, or when governments <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Polymarket\/status\/2071211374567383194\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dismiss<\/a> life-saving technologies like reliable cooling in pursuit of abstract future goals, their priorities are dangerously out of sync. This hypocrisy is especially glaring as prominent voices in the climate movement, including Bill Gates, have begun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/10\/28\/business\/bill-gates-climate-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pushing back<\/a> against the \u201cdoomsday outlook,\u201d arguing that climate change\u00a0\u00a0will not lead to humanity\u2019s demise and that resources must also address immediate crises like poverty and disease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s time to reject the false choice between climate concern and human welfare. Governments can address environmental challenges without sacrificing comfort, reliability, or lives on the altar of ideological purity. The heat-related deaths across Europe are not just a preventable tragedy; they are a warning that orthodoxy without common sense and realism costs lives. Human flourishing should never be treated as collateral damage in the name of abstract ideology.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Helen Raleigh, CFA, is an American entrepreneur, writer, and speaker.
