I hope that Europe doesn't ever reach the same level of insanity with regards to air-conditioning that you see in, for example, Florida. The last time I visited (admittedly 20 years ago) I remember having to walk outside of shopping malls / supermarkets for a few minutes to warm up, having been subjected to the frigid level of AC inside.

I think a big part of the "all kids do is play inside" thing people like to complain about has to do with everyone having their AC on all the time. If its hot inside and hot outside, you go play outside. If its hot outside and cool inside, you sit on your ass and look at a screen.

Been to Texas in summer last year (it was very hot outside) and I found it ridiculous how low the temperature inside was: most Europeans on the conference were complaining, we had to wear light jackets inside.

Then, I went to India (also in the summer): it's even worst (even colder inside and in the taxis).

These kind of things just to above my cultural sense of logic...

That’s something that can be solved by law.
