Deadly London Tower Fire Fueled By ‘Green Energy’ Rules

Al Gore said that he was going to make changes to "Inconvenient Truth" sequel after Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Heist. Maybe all can make another and throw this story into his movie.

Imagine that. A bunch of well fed, white, greenies make laws that result in the death of a bunch of blacks and immigrants in London. I guess black lives don't matter to them.

London’s Grenfell Tower was made worse by government “green energy requirements” that allowed fire to rapidly engulf the building Wednesday, leaving at least 17 people dead and scores more wounded or missing.

While it’s unknown what sparked the fire, experts say that the cladding, or exterior insulation, created a chimney effect through which the fire rapidly spread upwards. The cladding was added to Grenfell’s exterior in 2015 as part of a $12.8 million retrofit.

“I have never seen a fire that has engulfed an entire building like this in a career of more than 30 years,” Matt Wrack, who heads the Fire Brigades Union, told The Telegraph.

“It could be that this is the quest for sustainability trumping other concerns,” echoed Dr. Jim Glockling of the Fire Protection Association.

“There has been an emerging body of evidence surrounding some of the materials being used and now we have an appalling demonstration of what can happen,” Glockling said.

The Telegraph noted that cladding “is used as an insulation to make buildings more sustainable to meet green energy requirements.” Some 30,000 buildings in the U.K. have been retrofitted with cladding to cheaply comply with green energy mandates.

Grenfell Tower became more energy efficient, but the space between the cladding and the building increased the potential damage from fires, leaving hundreds of residents at the fire’s mercy.

“There were explosions everywhere you looked, lots of bangs, blue gas coming out everywhere you looked,” Mickey Paramasivan told The Telegraph.

“About 12 floors up I saw three children waving from a window and then there was just an explosion and they disappeared,” he said. “They were three kids, they were banging on the windows, you could see their silhouettes and then bang, it just went up.”

Prime Minister Theresa May has called for a full investigation into what happened. Others have called for all cladded buildings to be inspected for fire hazards.

However, building residents and experts have warned about the fire risks of cladding for years. A blog post by the Grenfell Action Group in November 2016 warned that “only a catastrophic event” would bring attention to the building’s issue.

Government officials cautioned against the risks of cladding since at least 1999, according to The Telegraph.
 
There is already outrage about these developments.

Where is the mayor of London? That guy talks a big game, but it looks like he is coming up quite short.

I have a neighbor who is a retired architect of large buildings. He says that the LEEDs (and related) standards are the unsafest construction & retrofit standards to happen to humans in decades. I guess this fire proves him correct.

I just too bad that these people had to die because of the environmental movement. They are always quick to make wild claims about what will happen 100 years in the future, while their policies are costing people their lives in the present. Maybe Leonardo Dicaprio can fly over in his private and offer his condolences.
 
"The manufacturer of the panels used to clad the London tower block where at least 30 people died in a fire this week advised customers against using its polyethylene-cored tiles — the ones reportedly used at Grenfell Tower — in high-rise buildings."

London tower fire: Panels in Grenfell high-rise reportedly not suitable for buildings taller than 10 metres
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-17/8627790

Diagrams of Reynobond tiles from a brochure dated from 2016 shows how polyethylene (PE) core tiles are suitable only for buildings up to 10 metres in height.

"As soon as the building is higher than the firefighters' ladders, it has to be conceived with an incombustible material," the brochure said.

The brochure was issued by French-based Arconic Architectural Products which is responsible for the European marketing of systems produced by US company Arconic, which owns Reynobond.

The Guardian and the BBC have reported panels with a PE core were used in a refurbishment of the 24-storey Grenfell Tower that was completed just last year.
