British air conditioning and climate change
If you have ever spent a lot of time in England, you know that few people have air conditioning. Except, bizarrely, the government's Department for Energy and Climate Change.
Plans to switch off the air-conditioning and instead open windows at the Department for Energy and Climate Change have been scrapped after staff complained about the noise.
Noise? I thought climate change was going to lead to TEOTWAWKI. We're going to let a little noise get in the way of saving the planet? These particular bureaucrats do not seem to have a particularly can-do spirit.

Link,
Until these people walk the walk, you know they're full of shit -- at some level they even know thye're full of shit -- they have a different agenda.
Energy could still become law -- it would actually increase CO2 emissions.

OK, fine. You don't like the noise, we'll just turn off the air conditioners.
