1.Yes, I am aware that only a minority (c.10%) of Europeans (& Indians, other Asians etc.; but a higher % of Americans) have aircons- but (from links I previously provided), aircon use is now rapidly growing in the aforementioned areas.
Other articles have stated that heatwaves there:-

. have caused some countries to increase their thermal coal usage &/or imports in summer, so they can avoid power blackouts.

. place great pressure on their power grids, sometimes causing power blackouts.

. some countries have asked their citizens to reduce their use of aircons, to avoid blackouts.

It has been stated that power usage grows strongly in heat waves (& it has also been reported that wind turbines & solar panels sometimes have reduced power output, in strong heat waves, due to technical problems associated with the renewables' technology.
(It seems @Higgo72 is alluding to this, in his post directly above).
