Homeowners are being forced to tear out air conditioning from their private properties under climate laws, despite rising temperatures.

Council planning officers ordered residents to remove air-con units over fears they produce too much carbon dioxide, stating they should only be used as a “last resort”.

The net zero clampdown is part of building regulations that state “active cooling” should only ever be allowed when all other means of “passive cooling”, such as opening windows or using fans, have been exhausted.

In one of a string of cases uncovered by The Telegraph, a resident living in North London was forced to “permanently remove” two air-con units from the back of their home.

Planning inspectors working for Camden council said there was “no justification” for the air-con units and that they failed to comply with the local authority’s so-called “cooling hierarchy”.

In an appeal, the resident was told to open the windows and balcony doors of their first-floor flat to ventilate the property “by natural means”.

Their concerns about security were dismissed, with inspectors saying the risk was not “as great as those associated with ground floor windows” and that the windows could be shut at night.

Hey Dope, how many shares of Trump stock (DJT) do you own?

How much money have you lost?

Why are MAGAs gullible fools?...

"Trump's Truth Social’s stock has been circling the drain for over a year now and is slipping into increasingly dire territory"

"Trump's media company craters to record low as losses keep stacking up"

"Everyday investors who chased the ‘DJT’ meme stock have watched billions evaporate"

"An investor says he put 98% of his retirement funds in Trump Media stock and won’t bail because Trump has a ‘secret’ plan"

"And there ain't no way Trump's letting them bankrupt his company! Have faith. He has a plan. But it's a plan that they have to keep secret, for now." ~Said one MAGA investor

America does NOT need more of this!

Dope, that's England, not here. So you have an English city council - Camden a London borough of ~220,000 covering 8 square miles.

"They were eventually allowed to keep the air-con on appeal to the Planning Inspectorate – in spite of the council’s strict climate tests – by demonstrating that the property already had numerous eco upgrades such as solar panels." The AC units do not produce carbon but the electrical source may. As for councils making nutty rules:

USA:
~Miami Beach, Florida: It is illegal to sing in a public place while wearing a swimsuit,

~Carmel, California: Eating ice cream while standing on the sidewalk is prohibited

~Fairbanks, Alaska: Serving alcoholic beverages to a moose is strictly against the law.

~Atlanta, Georgia: You are prohibited from tying a giraffe to a telephone pole or street lamp.

~San Francisco, California: Using used underwear to wipe or clean your car is illegal.

~Quitman, Georgia: Changing the clothes on a storefront mannequin is not allowed unless the window shades are drawn.

~Boston, Massachusetts: Taking a bath is technically illegal unless you have a written order from a licensed physician.

~My favorite: You are not allowed to leave your home without having some place to go.

Removing a handful of air conditioners in England, some of which were later allowed, is a major event in the mind of the far right radicals.

Allowing a U.S. president and his cabinet to grift billions of dollars, U.S. consumers spending an additional $50 billion for gas & diesel, high inflation, loss of approximately 100,000 manufacturing jobs in first 12 months of Trump’s second term, initiating a war that cost the lives of 13 U.S. servicemen members and has cost around $100 billion only to have the American president grovel before a Muslim terrorist to beg him to open the strait, keeping interest rates high, restricting voting rights, adding trillions to our national debt, taking away health care from Americans, and destroying our economy under the current administration is apparently OK to the far right radicals.

Man, the far right radicals have a strange set of priorities.
