Thermostats should be set no higher than 19C, Government advisers have said as they set out plans to tackle climate change by encouraging people to lead green lifestyles.

The Committee on Climate Change said Britain should cut greenhouse gases to "net zero" by 2050 as it recommended a series of radical changes to meet the new target.

They reached that conclusion sat in a air-conditioned office no doubt!

I shall decide.

Oh god shut up. So we freeze while the rest of the world does what it wants.

Or 68 as I always do!

I’m sure all this is less about the environment and all about trying to control every aspect of people’s lives.

Well they should practice what they preach in council housing offices then as theirs is set alot higher than that 😡😡😡😡😡

Most elderly have that already, much lower even to survive the winter.

What shall I do about the icicles ? Mr brain dead

Mine's usually on 0C

19 or 20c seems to be ok except for in winter, when I need it turned up to about 23c.

turning the heating down isn’t going to solve the problem! The general public aren’t going to solve the problem.... it needs massive government intervention and investment .....government advisers..? Get real!

Pussies! Mine is set at 16.5 and that’s plenty warm enough.

Should'nt they be at zero as its almost summer - just put on a jumper if is chilly ?

Mine has never been set that high

Wish I could afford to have mine turned up that high to begin with !

Good luck with the African community

Trouble with this idea is that the population will increase as we all go to bed early to keep warm ...

I do that as can’t afford to heat the entire house. Even so spend over £400 -500 per winter month on oil. Only bedroom warm at night w/ electric fire. Costs £650 p 1/4. With green taxes I’ll be heat-less. Let’s knock down all old houses to build eco homes. Win for equity funds

Funny - a couple of years ago they were saying turn your heating to 18 deg - as something changed? 🤔

Bollocks, my local pub is set at 20.5C and it is very cold in there

17 would be more than adequate.

Convert gas network to hydrogen then strip out the CO2 from natural gas and inject back into depleted reservoirs.

Mine are often set just above zero, to stop frozen pipes .. I will take note of this and turn it up next winter

The climate has a long history of changing. C02 is a trailing indicator, not leading, and is only 0.045% of atmospheric gases. Governments are lying to justify more control over people.

That’s no good if we’re going to address the “climate emergency” and get to zero emissions within 6 yrs. all gas boilers will have to be switched off - permanently - or replaced.

We pay our bills. Do NOT dictate to us.

Liam Fox forced to clarify climate change commentsInternational trade secretary appeared to suggest scientific consensus could be questioned 'Finite resources'!! GAHH!!! Liam put the glass pipe down !! YQG Of course scientific consensus can be challenged. Just not very effectively by non-evidence based blather. That’s the Lord Lawson/Christopher Booker approach. The “it snowed today, so much for climate change” and “that shrinking iceberg is just getting bigger in other ways” fools

Liam Fox accused of 'legitimising' climate change denialCabinet minister later clarified remarks after coming under fire for suggesting the science was up for debate But we all know he is staggeringly incompetent.

One in four Britons think the threat of climate change is exaggeratedA growing number of people quietly believe in conspiracy theories ..not bad considering the brainwashing and scare campaigning the mainstream media has spent millions on. Which means 3 in 4 think it isn’t. At least 1 in 4 Britons are idiots. But we already knew that.
