I have seen many articles like this in the past few weeks. They seem to suggest that, in order to beat climate change, us Europeans need to invest in air conditioning systems, whilst ignoring climate change as a whole.
What’s the point, uk homes are pooly insulated anyway
They need to get serious about insulation and shutters. That helps in summer as in winter and doesn’t heat up the planet
Part of the problem is image, most think of air-conditioning as a box in a window aperture blowing cold air loudly rather than a quite sophisticated central heating/cooling system.
I was sceptical but now I’m converted
Any UK company making affordable ac units
Awnings: a simple cooling tech we apparently forgot about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhbDfi7Ee7k
I personally think it’s disabled and poor people’s fault……… whoops wrong thread. Just got used to the last 2 weeks blaming the woke folk like, disabled people, for, you know, existing.
Sure… so people get to decide if they have heat or starve in the winter and AC or starve in the summer.
Oh yeah, let’s just suck up more electric. I’m sure that will help.
British people have the shortest memories ever. Hot for a week and we suddenly think we live in the tropics.
Completely unnecessary for a handful of days each year
Weird seeing some of the arguments in here.
There’s pretty much nothing I can do to affect climate change personally, but I can buy a portable AC unit, so I did. I don’t really see the issue.
Am am gobsmacked by the obscenity of the FT’s total corruption. There is zero doubt in my mind that the electricity and/or air con industry pulled a few strings to get this published.
We need celling fans makes a surprisingly big difference. I was in Barcelona last week so temperature was mostly early 30s and the air con in the hotel didn’t work at times the celling fan alone massively cooled down the room. A lot cheaper and easier than air-con though celling height may be an issue in some houses.
Need a house with a concrete basement, top floor flats fucning suck in the summer 🤣
Issue with modern houses are so insulated once the heat is in there’s nothing you can do.
Parents building a new house currently and scrapped the idea for underfloor heating throughout and gone for the more American system of blown heat/cooling.
It just makes more sense now our stuff is so insulated.
First thing they should do is require solar panel installation on every meter powering an Aircon unit.
But they won’t do that because it’s actually sensible.
Go buy an AC for your council house that will only get touched 2 weeks out of the year then.
I see a lot of my neighbours with their south facing windows open in the afternoon letting all the 32c hot air into their homes.
People need to learn to close the windows and curtains on the hot side of the house during the day and only open them when the outside temperature is cooler than inside.
I think my quality of life would improve immensely with some air conditioning 😂
When we moved into this house, the bedroom had a ceiling fan. I wanted rid, but never got round to it.
My fucking god it is amazing, right above the bed.
Get a heat pump, or two if need be. You can heat in the winter, AC in the summer.
No, no we don’t, the planet needs to get serious about global warming.
We need air con in the UK for, on average, less than a week a year.
Air conditioning companies must be so pleased. We don’t need air conditioning. Plant more trees and stop climate change. We’ll be grand.
