    More woke insanity.

    It’s not only Once Great Britain that want to ban air conditioning, France does too.

    Paris Mayor Grégoire on the climate crisis: ‘To adapt together, we need to change our way of life’

    In an interview with Le Monde, the Socialist leader of the French capital city called individual air conditioning ‘a scourge’ and urged ‘flexibility’ and ‘makeshift solutions’ to respond to the urgent challenge of heat waves.

    June 25, 2026

    Elected in March to lead a city that is particularly vulnerable to extreme heat waves, Paris Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire (Parti Socialiste) urged people to be “pragmatic” and not to respond to the current climate crisis with “promises of a better future in 10 or 15 years.”

    My task is to balance these issues. To adapt together, we need to change our way of life. Paris’s climate trajectory means our environment will one day resemble that of Seville, and, in all countries that face these temperatures, the working day and daily rhythms are different from ours.

    When we are on red alert [for high temperatures], we must be able to change the hours of public services and also those in the private sector. We need to start earlier, take a long break at midday and work later. A social conference on this topic is necessary, so we can discuss it with experts, unions, professional organizations, the government and others. We urgently need to collectively get out of denial. Heat waves are still too often thought of as isolated events, not as a structural phenomenon that is bound to …

    As Australia always scours the world first the very worst ideas, expect it to come to Australia as well. But let’s start with Government buildings full of the public serpents and politicians who dream up these ideas, or at least copy them from others.

    What is the average temperature if you add the currently very low Arctic temperature and the currently high temperature in Europe then divide by two. Presumably that is what the powers that be do to get their global averages. If they don’t like the result they try somewhere else to see if it fits their narrative. /S

    Euros would rather lead the world in heat deaths than admit Americans were right!

    There is a bar chart at the link.

    The text of the chart reads:

    Horizontal bar chart of heat-related deaths per 100,000 people per year by continent. Europe has the highest rate at 23.5, far exceeding Asia at 4.5, Africa at 4.0, Americas at 2.5, and Oceania at 2.0.

    Gosh, you don’t think its due to Europe’s aversion to air conditioning and energy in general do you?

    And even though Australia has a similar aversion to energy, no politician (yet) dares to ban it. Even wokesters like to be cool, temperature wise. In fact, most of them would be too physically and mentally feeble to tolerate the hardship of heat.

    Wokeness kills.
