Well all I can say sorry young people, I did what I could, bicycling/walking to school, work and shops, no AC until 2 years ago (health).
A friend and I complained to many of our peers about Auto use for decades, but all we heard back was "but dangerous". I knew people would would drive 100 feet (~33 meters) to pick up a coffee when they were in there 20s. So sadly you get to pay for many of my peers ignorance, and maybe a bit on my part too.
