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

ritons 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.

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.

There are more honorable ways to die than heat stroke....Just sayin'.

Brits are some people.

No guns, no knives, and immigrant rape gangs.

Now they will smell like the French.

And they deserve every degree of it.

I grew up in the desert SW in the 50s and 60s with no AC until about 1965. We were no strangers to 104F temps. Somehow we survived. I remember playing in sprinklers and sitting in the shade where we could find it and going to the pool when we could find an extra quarter to get in but we lived. It seems that now we have AC wide spread and people start whining if we see 90F temps. SMH.

And here I thought Britain was green energy heaven. And the AC units are powered by electricity, so where's the problem?

Where did you get the 40 degrees C from? The high temp in London is about 35 degrees C for tomorrow. It's currently 27 degrees C.

104 degrees Fahrenheit? Does it get that hot over there? We see that every year in Far Northern CA. When I was younger I was fencing 5 acres in that heat, just had a big water cooler. Today, at my age, it would probably kill me. They should at least let older folks have AC, IMO.

Back in the day (when my mom was a kid) when it got too hot inside the house folks would go out and sleep on the porch or in the yard. They used to hang hammocks.

That was also back when everyone used wood-fired cooking stoves so many people had a small stove on a back porch they cooked on so it would not heat the house up.

They lived next to a creek so they got a bit of natural cooling that way plus the kids could play in it.

LOL, I went to a small town July 4th celebration in Troy, MT (near the Canadian border) a few years back and had the only heat related event that I ever experienced in my life. It was a bit revealing about what age can do. The temps were about 104 and the sun was intense. We don't have AC and we get triple digits a few days every year and I just turn on the fan and stay out of the sun. Seems to work for me.

On those 100+ days here in NE WA, I'll wander down to the swimming area on the Columbia R. and take a dip--it does wonders.
