Four million British homes have air conditioning now — double the number three years ago — and the country's own climate advisers say it isn't close to enough. Ninety-two percent of UK homes are likely to overheat in a heatwave: stone and brick built for a damp island that no longer exists. Here's the trap nobody in power will name aloud — the system cooks the planet, then sells you the machine to survive the heat it made. Heat pumps do both jobs cleaner; the upfront cost keeps them from the homes that need them most. Check on one neighbor over seventy this summer. The land kept its end of the bargain for ten thousand years. We changed the terms.
