Britons ordered to remove air conditioning from homes in 40C heat under Net Zero crackdown

The Tories warned that Britain was being left 'in the dark ages' through the 'bonkers' Net Zero drive.

Britons have been ordered to remove air conditioning from their homes - despite the country baking in up to 40C heat this week - under a fresh Net Zero crackdown.

Planning officials at councils have told residents to take down their cooling units over concerns about carbon dioxide emissions.

They say AC, despite the heat, should serve only as a "last resort".

The crackdown comes from building regulations which demand "active cooling" is used only after all "passive cooling" methods, like opening windows or running fans, have been exhausted.

The Tories have accused the Government of leaving Britain "in the dark ages" through Net Zero policies which prevent citizens from accessing "modern conveniences that are completely normal in other countries".

Standard guidance says planning consent is not needed for air conditioning in most circumstances.

But permission becomes mandatory in specific scenarios, including properties in conservation areas - with separate regulations applying to flats, leasehold properties, and shared buildings.

40C = 104F.

They know only the African “migrants” can tolerate that heat.

Good old green energy. 🙄

Tell them to remove the A/C from the Palace of Westminster and Buckingham Palace first.

Canada’s Carney plans to do the same thing remove all Oil dependence and go 100% green energy scam , making Canada a third world country overnight

Canada is now a resource colony.

I think it’s long past time for a Brits still producing measurable levels of testosterone to go “Colonial” on their governmental leadership.

Hey Brits’, it’s high time to take out your trash.

I see darkly that a few civic leaders are about to be visited by Jewish Lightning, so sez the vol fireman from Massapewua, or as said by the locals, matzoh-pizza.

Unbelievable..............

Delightful European World Cup visitors: As you stroll through the air conditioned Costcos and Buccee’s, reflect on how your government has smothered your propriety and your freedom. Now demanding your relatives back home just simmer in the heat. We’ve shown you it doesn’t have to be like that. When you go back home, get to work on doing something about it

Yrs ago, I read that England is pushing the green agenda so hard because the pensions are majorly invested in all of the green things.

This goes back to A/C and freon regulations in general. They are almost all based on environmental junk science. But the manufacturers have profited big time from the constant forced obsolescence of equipment which use harmless but now condemned previous refrigerants.

Propaganda about Europe needing AC is dangerous and must stop

Heat waves are uncomfortable, yes, but they are survivable with basic common sense

AC is a luxury that accelerates the climate crisis causing these hot summers!

Instead destroying our planet even more, we must embrace sensible solutions: staying in a shade, opening windows at night and siestas.

Europeans don't "need" AC to live productive lives.

Let's just accept that sometimes weather is hot (shocking, I know)

I have a hard time believing this story. There’s so much BS on the Internet that a lot of it isn’t true.

[know.your.why]

All driven by global warming fear mongers. How those Brits dont lynch the monarchy/ruling party (who you know are nice and cool) is baffling. I wonder if there would have been a revolt in the 1780’s like happened with the French.
