The issue with people dying from heat waves has nothing to do with climate change.

The issue is that Switzerland outlawed air conditioning for private homes (still allowed in shopping centres though!)

Show me that law, because as far as I can tell, that's complete nonsense.

I know of a bunch of people who legally purchased and installed aircon in their homes.

It might vary by canton, I’m in Zürich.

Yeah you can buy the mobile AC unit, but none of the new-builds in the past 10+ years come with a built-in (fixed) unit.
