Is it a summer thing? When the weather turns cold, will we be "gridlocked"? Will we "feel the chill"? "Snowed under"?

Sam - maybe so. It could be wishful thinking too - during a dullish summer we have regular news meltdowns to compensate.

Ah yes, its that "warming" thing again is it? Wellit seems one place where there does not seem to be any meltdown is the Arctic:

"Just one cool summer caused the much-worried-about Arctic icepack to swell by no less than a third in 2013 and it has grown even more since - more than making good its losses during the previous few years. Meanwhile of course, the southern sea ice around Antarctica has continued to spread out and cover bigger areas all the time, a circumstance which has frankly stumped climate scientists as their models cannot account for it. Antarctic ice hit a new all-time record last year, in fact"
Bit of a forlorn hope really!

Economic meltdown presumably owing to the China Syndrome.

It's the humidity, it makes the brain freeze.

Graham - "their models cannot account for it" in the good old days that would have meant their models were wrong. Now they just bolt on yet another ad hoc theory.

Sackers - crikey yet another batch of meltdowns. Roll on the cooler weather.

Demetrius - sunny afternoons in the office with no air conditioning. I know the feeling. At least I did - these days I just have a beer.
