In UK, Where Roughly 5% of Homes Have AC, Official Broadcaster Reports on People Effectively Crippled by 'Heatwave Anxiety'

The United Kingdom has steadfastly refused to come up with any plan to air condition most residences or reduce energy costs to the point where it wouldn’t be a burden for the people using it. It will, however, use its official state network to report on Britishers breaking down due to “heatwave anxiety.”

In a story published by the BBC last week about how the phenomenon left people they talked to “incredibly helpless” and “pretty much useless,” the broadcaster gave tips on “how to manage it.”

The words “air conditioning” were used just once — referring to an ecologist who purchased a “unit in spring as a precaution.”

Meanwhile, the article was rife with talk about “climate anxiety,” “climate change,” and “climate concerns.”

This included Tavia Watts — whose name would be too on-the-nose in a Pynchon novel if it weren’t real — talking about how, during the heatwave in June, she was thinking about her young children. Not how hot they were in the weather, but how hot it was in their rooms for her.

“During the heatwave, I’ve got a high level of anxiety all the time and I’m pretty much useless,” the 36-year-old said.

“I’ve had to leave bedtime when my husband reads [my kids] stories to have a little cry and to calm down, because it’s just too hot in their room and I’m afraid for them.”

This is a stay-at-home mother who “feels like the world is literally ending” … which is why she had time to talk about it thusly on Instagram.
