CBS: Why some Europeans resist air conditioning, even amid deadly heat waves (LINK) — 30 June 2026

— A 2007 study found that air conditioning can cut heat-related deaths by 75%, but only about 20% of Europeans have air conditioning in their homes. In the U.S., it's about 90%. But..."installing more air conditioning actually emits more heat into our environment, so it will actually increase the speed of warming." It's also more expensive. About 56% of all homes in Italy had air conditioning as of 2024 [...], and the country accounts for one-third of all electricity use on air conditioning in the European Union.

— Cruise Industry News: With the addition of two piers to the original two-berth pier that opened with Celebration Key in July 2025, Carnival expects roughly 200 more ship calls and 700,000 additional guest arrivals each year. Now that four ships can dock simultaneously, 13,000 guests a day will be able to visit the exclusive destination. "From a mile of white sand beach to the Caribbean's largest freshwater lagoons and five distinct experience portals, every part of Celebration Key was designed to deliver something unforgettable. Finishing the pier extension ahead of schedule gives us a real jump on meeting the extraordinary demand we're seeing and allows us to bring even more guests to this unique Bahamian paradise sooner than expected." Twenty Carnival Cruise Line ships now call from 10 U.S. homeports at Celebration Key. Three- and four-ship days will become routine at the destination starting September 2026, while Princess Cruises and AIDA ships will start visiting later this year, with AIDAluna's inaugural visit scheduled for November 2027. The number of guests having visited Celebration Key on its first anniversary on July 19, 2026, is expected to reach 2.5 million.
