Nice to see the UK has its priorities right.
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'.
But not enough of a "last resort" to, you know, keep you from roasting to death, apparently.
Instead, authorities ordered citizens to exhaust all other forms of avoiding heat stroke.
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.
Yeah, open up those windows and use fans to circulate the hot air throughout your home. That'll be more comfortable.
Enforcement has been even more stringent in London:
One Londoner received orders to 'permanently remove' two cooling units from the rear of their property, The Telegraph revealed.
Camden Council's planning inspectors determined there was 'no justification' for the equipment, ruling it breached the authority's 'cooling hierarchy' policy.
During an appeal, the homeowner was advised to open windows and balcony doors in their first-floor flat to achieve ventilation 'by natural means'.
When the resident raised security concerns in the crime-addled capital, inspectors dismissed these, arguing the risk was not 'as great as those associated with ground floor windows' and suggesting windows could remain closed overnight.
So if you live on the ground floor, you get to choose between dying of heat or letting criminal migrants break into your home to kill you.
And if you decide to live like a civilized chap and install an air conditioner?
Be prepared to face the consequences.

AC for me, but not for thee...
Google Maps shows large AC units atop 10 Downing St.
Of course....this edict is for the unwashed peons.
If liberals had their way in this country it would be the same thing.
No A/C, eat bugs, take your covid shots, shut up and like it.
They want elderly White homeowners to die off from the heat so the units can be given to 3rd world migrants - for free, of course.
To deny “minorities” a/c will be deemed racist so they’ll be allowed to have a/c units, their needs supercede any climate change issues.
I spoke to a Dutch fellow a couple weeks ago. He went on and on about fossil fuel “contamination”. Being a guest in his home, I didn’t argue with him; I only smiled.
Are air conditioning units in the UK illegal ? If not get stuffed
I've seen those videos as well. I think many really have not seen it before, like fans from Norway perhaps.
Why not ban refrigerators, too? Don’t those contribute to climate change? (Just trying to help you blokes out…)
This mass psychosis induced insanity is just a few jump skips and a heartbeat or two away from telling many of certain citizens to step into the ovens......”for the sake of the environment”.
What if you want to move your Muslim Rape Gang activity indoors?!?
I mean, wouldn’t you want all those UK girls to be comfortable…
Amusing you say that - I spoke with a business associate in Basingstoke just this past Friday, he confirmed your assertion! It’s quite funky there right now.
When "Freddy" from Germany went to his first World Cup game, it was in the 90's in Houston. Of course they closed the roof and cranked the AC.
WE HAVE ARRIVED!!!! Another insane stadium, and the roof is closed so it’s actually a little chilly in here.
I’m freezing to death in here. We’re sitting right below the AC. It’s so cold.
Freddy is blown away by America, and his takes on our people, culture and hospitality are a hoot.
In Texas the officials don’t allow the grid to have enough capacity and they let the people take it down by demand usage.
Why do native British folks put up with this? Are there no more alpha males in the country?
Give up your guns and soon you’re giving up your ac
The UK Defence Investment Plan was finally published and released by the UK Govt., (a year late bty).
England is Fucked, even with their new Prophet coming down from the mountain of the North...
There’s just not enough money to provide both an adequate Defense, and all of the Lefty Social, and Environmental programs at the same time...
I could post any number YT videos about this from Sky News, not to mention The Telegraph, of the BBC, or ITV, that speak of what a bind the UK is in. But you’re skilled enough to search out those out from their channels.
Okay, I’ll give you one that goes into some depth:

People in Europe say they don’t believe in air conditioning despite it being a heat wave like the US
