I am hugely gemused to see that Nanny is so concerned about the fact that Britain will become a "warm" country, that she is formally advising homeowners to paint their property white to protect themselves from heatwaves.
Seemingly Nanny is of the view that we will start to drop dead when the temperature hits 24.5C.
FFS!
How the hell have people who live in warmer parts of the world managed to survive then?
Not content with telling us to paint our houses white, Nanny also wants us to remove dark curtains and to install external shielding.
Individuals can stay safe by putting a damp cloth on the back of
their necks during hot weather, eating cold foods such as salads and
fruit, and avoiding alcohol and caffeine.
All of this bollocks, and more besides, comes in a 46 page document Heatwave Plan for England published the other week by the NHS and the idiots in Public Health England.
Chief medical officer Professor Dame Sally Davies is quoted by the Telegraph:
"As
a result of climate change we are increasingly likely to experience
extreme summer temperatures that may be harmful to health.”
Dr
Angie Bone, head of extreme events at PHE’s Centre for Radiation,
Chemical and Environmental Hazards, said:
“While hot weather is enjoyable for most people and
uncomfortable for some, sadly experience tells us that exposure to
excessive heat can kill, with most cases of illness and death caused by
heart and lung disease.
Because we are not used to these very hot temperatures in England,
it is important that local plans are in place to reduce the impact of
harm from very hot weather."
I will only believe it when I see a British summer where the temperature exceeds 35 degrees for 30 consecutive days!
In fact I am old enough to remember the drought of 1976, people didn't go around panicking then and as far as I recall thousands were not dropping dead in the street on a daily basis.
