“British politician visits already warm country, stunned that having AC is a perfectly normal thing and not something to be rationed out, 2025, colourised”

Aren’t they already open to the public?

At the very least, for people at risk. Yesh maybr it’s slightly unbearable but come on people, where’s the resilience?

Or just reform building regulations so that they don’t penalise AC and Air-Air heat pumps and allow developers to build more homes that have AC/air-air heat pumps in them.
Sorry UK, but I’m visiting during your heat wave and… Sorry to tell you this… but it aint hot. This is what we in Texas refer to as “nice”… where it’s hot in the full sun, perfect in the shade, and sublime with a breeze. Now clearly some inside places without AC and/or ventilation are unpleasant… but for the most part all you gotta do is walk outside and sit under a nice shady tree.

Is air-con our generation’s national ID cards? Something the rest of the world has long since accepted but for some reason a large chunk of this country is going to hold out and insist isn’t needed, and what is needed instead is some other really ambitious solution?

Man, the British are such weather wimps.
It’s a little heat. Get over it.

But global warming? AC is bad for global warming. We should ban ac.

Sitting in the witherspoon right now and freezing with their aircon. 1.29 a pint too 😄

Air con units can be bought off the shelf, no need for government intervention. The Lib Dems need to stop thinking that we are as incompetent as them.

There is already a scheme like this in London, here is the map: https://www.london.gov.uk/programmes-strategies/environment-and-climate-change/climate-change/climate-adaptation/cool-spaces
