    Shiver at home to save the world for deadly CO2

    BBC News - How warm is your home?

    "I do think the future will be medieval, when the big bang comes and we run out of oil. Small windows, shutters on the outside, a chimney for natural ventilation."


    Something for the lefty CO2 worshippers to aspire to. Hopefully we'll all get black death too, whilst India and China work on their Space Programme.


    Living room temperatures

    18-21C - comfortable temperature
    9-12 or 24+C: Risk of stroke and heart attack
    21-24C or 16-18C - some discomfort
    12-16C - risk of respiratory disease
    Less than 9C - risk of hypothermia



    I know some of you tight arses are sitting in unheated homes.

    They had fireplaces in which they burnt burny stuff like coal and wood though.

      some local authorities have workers wrapped in blankets at their desks in winter.
      The solution is we move to a warmer planet. Either that or move somewhere warm in winter. It only costs £60 return for a flight to the Canaries, even with the airlines making a profit, so why not move all shivering office workers to Spain or the Canaries in winter? This would save a fortune, count as their holiday entitlement and save on buying slankets.

        I like your thinking. But why don't we all just stay there for the summer and invest in air conditioning, thus solving the energy crisis forever.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
