Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that air conditioning is uncommon in European homes?

Yes. Evidence indicates that air conditioning historically has had lower penetration and remains less common in many European regions compared to places like the United States, though adoption is growing due to climate change.

The analysis

The retrieved literature notes increasing cooling and air conditioning demands in European geographies alongside global studies showing stark disparities in AC adoption and access across countries, supporting the premise that AC has traditionally been less common in European homes.
