The more air conditioners in an area the hotter becomes around it. In turn increasing the demand for AC. Infinite money glitch. (lemmy.world)

Cities are already about 5C hotter than the surrounding countryside. Adding this increase on top, means 7.5C.

4OC in the countryside is already bad, 47,5C in the city is deadly for a lot of people.

I think you underestimate, how deadly heat can be: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature

Wouldn’t those 2.5C already be included in cities being 5c warmer..?

No, since most cities are not fully air conditioned.
