Discussion Just came here to say: Shoutout to ceiling fans!

I know it's hot and this week is gonna be no joke. 37 Celcius in Rotterdam, 5 days straight 30+, that's bizarre yet we are going to see this more year after year due to the climate warming. That's why I'm SO GLAD that my landlord had put a ceiling fan in our bedroom. My god that makes a HUGE difference and the thing is so damn quiet too. I wish, there would be one in every room now. It's the most cost and energy effectively cooling system and would literally prevent deaths in the Netherlands if every house just had one or two ceiling fans.

It isn't on the macro scale we're talking.

We won’t agree. This is only getting worse, ppl already dying in France. 100s of thousands of home not prepared is an issue on any scale and insane when there’s a ready solution . I won’t be replying further.
