Welp, “climate change” — AKA: “global warming,” “climate emergency,” “climate crisis,” “existential threat of our time,” Weather — has claimed another victim; this time in the uber politically-correct United Kingdom.
Residential sunrooms, commonly called “conservatories” or “sun traps” in the UK, that fail to meet stringent (and expensive) requirements will no longer be allowed on new construction homes in Great Britain because, according to Daily Mail, they can overheat in “our increasingly warm summers.”
And just how “increasingly warm” These areWhat is the UK’s summer like? We’ll get there in a minute.
Because of global warming, the UK has banned sunrooms from new buildings. https://t.co/1kpu9Jq9Wo via @MailOnline

Beginning in June, all sunrooms included in new construction projects will be required to show they will not create “unwanted solar gain.” The change, noted Daily Mail, is part of “a raft of measures” aimed at “future-proofing” homes against summers where temperatures are predicted to reach 104º F. Though “well above what is currently experienced in Britain,” such highs would “cause conservatories to become unbearably hot, often increasing the temperature uncomfortably indoors too.”
Wait — so would 200 degreesHowever, So what’s the point?
In the UK, July averages 70 degrees. (More than half of the United States just laughed out loud and said “Hold my beer.”)
And not to nitpick, here — but whose business is it to determine whether a sunroom becomes “unbearably hot” or “uncomfortably warm” throughout a particular residential home, anyway — the homeowner or the British government?
Oder, maybe, you can visit a nation near to you and see America’s federal government.
According to Daily Mail, the objective of the new rules is to “improve domestic ventilation” and “reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent. (I wasn’t aware that sunrooms emit Anything — least of which, greenhouse gases.) Accordingly, windows will have smaller sizes. Which direction do they face? And is the house likely to heat up? Oh, for the “love” of the British monarchy, please.
Sunrooms which aren’t heated or separated from the home with external walls and doors might be exempt.
Those that do not meet the new specs will face “complex and expensive modeling” to show they will not become too hot in the summer – “limiting the use of trendy floor-to-ceiling glass.” (Why do I think a sizeable portion of those “expensive modeling” costs will end up in the ever-starved coffers of the British government?)
Sunrooms will become more expensive and a luxurious addition to your home.
Hell, maybe climate alarmists Leonardo DeCaprio and Al “Polar Ice Caps” Gore can jet to the UK in their private luxury aircraft, build multiple homes with sunrooms each, and provide tours — out of the hypocritical goodness of their hearts — so the common folk can reminisce about the good old days.
Let’s assume that there These areThere are still some good days left in the UK.
