Too hot outside, I do not like it

I have a small balcony and I wanted to enjoy the Sun, it is too hot here. The earth is getting hotter and in Las Vegas people pay a lot for cooling down their houses. AI is adding to this electrcity use which is just contributing to the global warming. It is + 16 degrees celsius in Helsinki. I remember when I took a bus trip to Helsinki in April 1986 to participate in an anti-nuclear demonstration, then there was still the snow in the forest areas next to the road in Eastern Finland on my way to Helsinki, not today as I witnessed. I do not like the direction where the Earth is going, I am expecting the very hot summer of 2025, miserable I would call it. Interestingly my trip to the demo in April 1986 was just two weeks before the Chernobyl nuclear accident and now they are planning to build more nuclear plants to have more electricity. It is the never-ending cycle, I am just afraid how hot it will be in 2040. Saudis already spend 70 % of their electricity in cooling down their houses. There may be more wildfires and other disasters in the future.

I presume it’s hot there all year. Wow .

I don’t like it when it’s too hot but I prefer it to the months of subzero temperatures we get here in the winter.

It is interesting how the world temperatures have risen, more people, more consumption, more high-tech and AI etc. creates this never-ending sprilal to increase the Earth temperatures and although they seemed to have been concerned about this for decades it is still going on. Even data centers require a lof of cooling. Last summer was hot, in June it was 26 degrees Celsius outside and in my place it was about the same,I do not have any cooling systems and so it got hot, but in this coming summer I expect it to be even hotter which is miserable for me, has so sleeping troubles and it feels hot. I remember how I slept in my car in Miami during the springs and summers (2000-2002) and I was sweating all the time. People must spend more money including electricity to cool down their places also in Finland and elsewhere. Last June I ate icecubes to keep cool. I just like cooler temperatures.
