Just move to a temperate climate. I've never had AC and only regret that for about 5 days a year. You learn to plow through that.
With climate change, those regrettable 5 days a year will become months long in the coming years.
But then you just move to a temperate climate again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As someone that lives in the arctic my AC (Inverter heat pump) has been running daily for over 2 months this year.
I miss summers where we didn't have two months over 20c, I have no idea where I can move to get away from this fucking unbearable heat at this point.
Of course I'm being silly, but here in the Netherlands I've really not needed it that much in my current house. Only my home office and attic get a bit too warm, but I have alternatives for those rooms and I've only seen my living room get up to 26 degrees at the hottest. For a few days a year I think that isn't that bad or worth the hassle and cost of an AC.
My previous house was much worse. A couple of years ago it got up to 40 degrees Celsius and it was 34 degrees in my living room.
Since I live in the arctic my home is well insulated, which is great because it also keeps heat out! Buuuuut it also traps in all the heat that accumulates over the 60+ days over 20c we've had this year.. I can't get to sleep in temps above 20-21c and my livingroom being over 24c or so would make me have horrible migraines.
