Make heat pumps and air con the basic minimum for new builds.
This seems like a strong case against letting self-centered, greedy, malicious people have power. A lot of work needs doing. Otherwise a lot of people saying “Britain is broken” will be even more responsible for Britain being broken, with that being more literal.
The best solution is planning reforms. We need to get to building lots of homes, offices, shops and other places that are more suitable for our new climate.
All the billions and billions of taxpayer money our virtuous politicians spaff on “climate emergency”, hobbling our economy to artificial deadlines, making everything more expensive…as if anything this country does is going to move the needle on global temperatures _at all_ – when **THIS** is the shit we should be funding. Actually preparing for the god damn inevitable.
Best we can do is tax credits for data centers and keep validating a party that thinks global warming is made up
We could just move everything to Scotland. It’s plenty cold up here.
Hospitals need it urgently. I was in hospital a few years ago when there was that late september heatwave. FML dealing with that, even with a fan on my face it was 20x worse than the giant hole in my leg, almost made me just check myself out. Giant south facing windows. a portable aircon but no cover around the cracked open giant window. was unbearable from like 9am to 10pm.
when i was moaning about this they said well you can walk so why not go and try and find somewhere cooler, or outside. I hatched a plan.
next day i got all my painkillers aligned about 12pm. said “ok im off to find somewhere cooler”. walked outside, got a cab back to my flat and lay there my bed with MY aircon on until 6pm, then got a cab back. “did you find somewhere nice and cool?” “yeah i did thanks”. Did that for a few days. Cost 30 odd quid every day in cab fares every day but FML better than dying for hours in bed.
Is this heating supposed to be happening? It’s nearly June and it’s still cold
