I have young children. If they died of heatstroke because the government told me I can’t use an air conditioner, what happens then?

🚨UK NET ZERO CRACKDOWN LEAVES HOMEOWNERS WITHOUT AIRCON IN RECORD HEAT
As Europe endures its most extreme heatwave on record, UK homeowners face orders to remove air conditioning units under fresh Net Zero planning rules that favor "passive" cooling.
One London homeowner tells The Telegraph they were instructed to "permanently remove" two cooling units.
When appealed, planning officials reportedly suggested opening windows and balcony doors to cool the flat "by natural means" instead.
