Example: where wet bulb temperatures are the new normal, air conditioning is as vital as air and water because you will literally die without cooling. "You can buy all the electricity you can afford" is not good enough.

I've heard (though I can't say authoritatively), that while "american" is obviously used for people from the USA, "americano" applies to all residents of the New World in Spanish in most countries that speak it. Wikipedia seems to agree:

In Spanish, americano denotes geographic and cultural origin in the New World, as well as (infrequently) a U.S. citizen;[13][14][c] the more common term is estadounidense ("United States person"), which derives from Estados Unidos de América
