Nice to see the UK has its priorities right.
In other words, sacrifice yourselves to save the planet, Brits.
From GB News:
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 consequencesβ¦
