So "thousands of people are going to die" in heat waves predicted for the South East of the UK in about four years according to the news today.
Unless we take measures to prevent it... Confused

What kind of measures can we take to prevent planetary weather trends in just four years I ask myself?

No doubt people will make money out of if it comes true. It could be a good thing for South coast holiday businesses.
In fact, couldn't we carry out just a few measures so we have a longish, decent summer rather than the few days we have now? Razz

Quite.

Last summer's heatwave never happened.

The number of deaths--which in any case sounds like a lift from the Department of Guesswork-- needs to be seen in the context of about 750,000 deaths in the UK every year.

Unfortunately, as I have often seen in my professional life, there are those who get off on scaring others to death.

Ian.

The Ministry of Disinformation is pontificating again. We are heading towards warmer climes as part of evolution; still it helps to replace those lost tobacco taxes!!

It maybe grim, but at least it's cooler up North.
