Air conditioning was never enough and it was always going to come to this point. The real solution is to go back to the way that things were designed up until the mid 1930s which used natural air flow to remove heat from a space without the need for electricity. People in Turkey could make or keep ice in the middle of the desert thousands of years ago. We can surely do better now if we try.
