General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
...along with solar panels... right? So many schools with flat roofs, and bundling solar with AC only makes sense.
Disingenuous headline which implies climate campaigners are for the use of energy intensive means of climate control in summer instead of opening some windows.
UK needs to urgently install solar panels which could be used to power air conditioning in schools and care homes, climate campaigners say.
Would be a more accurate description of their stance. Which is far more reasonable than the original headline suggests.
Install heat pumps FFS!
A/C is.
What I mean is just install heat pumps everywhere, as they can both heat and cool, whereas traditional air conditioners just cool.
I'm shocked that this isn't required by default on new builds.
Well it is quite hot today but it'll cool down
