Good Morning Britain TV: ‘Is it selfish to get air conditioning in the heat wave?’ – ‘Should we be using AC when we know they’re heating the planet?’
Is it selfish to get air con in the heat wave? Air conditioner units are selling out as Brits struggle with the soaring temperatures, but with around 4% of total global greenhouse gas emissions attributed to air con, should we be using them when we know they’re heating the… pic.twitter.com/h2XIXaPL93 — Good Morning Britain (@GMB) […]

Sen. Bernie Sanders says heatwaves prove to ‘Mr. Trump’ that ‘Climate change is not a ‘hoax’ – But Meteorologist rebuts: ‘Since the start of the 20th century, there has been no increase in heatwaves in the USA’
It’s summertime, Colonel Sanders; it is supposed to be hot. You’ve been here on Earth for almost a century, you ought to know better. Since the start of the 20th century, there has been no increase in heatwaves in the United Stares. According to a new paper published in the… pic.twitter.com/La3h3PFjBl — Chris Martz (@ChrisMartzWX) […]
France’s ideological war on air conditioning – Paris Mayor claims U.S. bears ‘a significant amount of responsibility’ for the deadly heatwave gripping France
https://spectator.com/article/frances-ideological-war-on-air-conditioning/ By Gavin Mortimer America is to blame for the heatwave that has caused so much misery in France in the last fortnight. Audrey Pulvar, the Socialist deputy mayor of Paris, took to social media at the weekend, addressing a letter to “dear American journalists” who have been making fun of Paris because the city doesn’t have […]
NYT Frets Over AC While Europeans Swelter And Die – Sweat-soaked Europe gets lectured by NY Times: Push for air conditioning is a ‘far right’ plot
https://climatechangedispatch.com/europe-air-conditioning-nyt/ by Clay Waters Even while trapped in Europe’s deadly summer sweatbox, two guilt-ridden New York Times reporters fretted about the modern-day life-saver of air-conditioning, issuing a snotty, dismissive story, “Europe’s Deadly Heat Wave: A Jolt for Climate Action, or Just for A.C.?” [some emphasis, links added] Even the byline had a touch of heatstroke by Times’ standards: […]
AC Feudalism: Eurocrats Stay Cool While Staff Swelter In Brussels Heatwave – Unelected EU commissioners kept AC running on upper floors while lower-level staff sweltered below
https://climatechangedispatch.com/european-union-air-conditioning-feudalism/ By Kurt Zindulka The governing body of the European Union has been accused of holding a neo-feudalist mindset after it was reported that only certain areas of its building in Brussels kept air conditioning running during last week’s record-breaking heatwave. [some emphasis, links added] According to a POLITICO report, the EU Commission’s Berlaymont building in […]
Meteorologist Chris Martz: ‘Heatwaves are no more evidence of climate change than cold snaps are evidence against it. It’s summertime. It’s weather’
Sort of amazing that European “net zero” policies won’t do squat to stop climate change. Might as well install the A/C and quit virtue signaling. Also, heatwaves are no more evidence of climate change than cold snaps are evidence against it. It’s summertime. It’s weather. https://t.co/P7x2w6U1hn pic.twitter.com/BIpeQZAdKG — Chris Martz (@ChrisMartzWX) June 28, 2026
MIT Climate 2024: ‘Historically, heating has contributed more to climate change than cooling has’ – ‘Most of those emissions come from heating’ Not AC
MIT in 2024: But air conditioning, which made active cooling of our homes and offices possible, was only invented in the early 20th century. “This process is still really magical,” Reinhart says. “There’s nothing in nature that you can turn on and suddenly it becomes ice cold on a hot day, right? Because it works against entropy. So it’s just really fascinating that we can do this at all.”
Britons ordered to remove air conditioning from homes in 100F+ heat under Net Zero crackdown – AC serve as ‘last resort’ only after ventilation ‘by natural means’ – Avoid ‘energy intensive AC systems’
https://www.gbnews.com/news/air-conditioning-heatwave-remove-40c-net-zero By Dan McDonald Britons 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 […]
Meteorologist Dr. Ryan Maue: ‘Over the past 485 million years, global mean surface temperature has ranged from 11°C to upwards of 36°C during the age of dinosaurs. We’re at ~15°C today.. & chilly compared to recent geological time. Good for humans’
