ElM, it's funny that I'm supposed to be suffering in the midst of world-record global warming climate change heat wave, when all I'm thinking is that this is the life, exactly what I want. It's cold today!! Only 29 degrees Celsius at 7.55pm. Okay, it's true I don't have a heater on, but it's definitely not too hot. If this is a problem, give me more of it. It is exactly what I was hoping for when coming to France. This is great. I don't care if the Arctic melts, Greenland becomes habitable again and sea levels rise a few metres over a decade or three and polar bears turn back into grizzly bears. There is plenty of time for everyone to adapt. It's not like a bolide-induced tsunami which would cause a very rapid sea level rise which would kill umpty million and which will happen one day, maybe tomorrow morning as they haven't found all the potential incomings yet and sometimes they are announced after they have already skimmed by. The USA, which is supposed to know about markets and pricing, apparently ran out of electricity due to air-conditioning demand. If they simply put prices of electricity up, then they wouldn't have run out and nobody would have had to go without electricity. They'd just have to pay up! Silly government regulation caused the shortages, not actual shortages, of which there weren't any. If England is too hot, they can always move to the south of France, where it's cooler. There is a huge amount of land available here. A huge river runs through the middle of the place, so there's no shortage of water. There's loads of food and with warmer climate, England and permafrost areas of Russia could start production if necessary. Mqurice
