Turn up the heating

21/06/2007 by Lee.

In just a couple of days time is my least favourite day of the year. The 22nd of June is a day to dread for me for there is slightly less “day time” on the 22nd than there was on the 21st. Winter is on its way.

I know that it’s a long time in coming and we still have the traditonal hot months of July and August to come, along with the promise of September which can be a nice month,  but by and large it starts to go downhill from here on in.

I love the warmth, I see nothing wrong with it being 80 degress all year round, I welcome global warming. I know this may seem like an outlandish statement with the current eco correctness that is engulfing us, but lets take a look at the bright side to global warming, and how it can be good for the environment.

1. We’ll use less power. I won’t have to put the heating on for months on end
2. I will only need one set of clothes. This will mean less wardrobe space is required in our homes. Many wardrobes are built from wood, so less wardrobes means less de-forestation.
3. More warmth means less flights abroad in the winter, so CO2 emissions will fall.
4. Farmers will be able to produce crops all year round putting an end to out of season goods being flown in from around the world, see point 3.
5. Sea levels may well rise. This will make our country smaller therefore cutting down on long car journeys as there will be less country to drive around.
6. Following on from point 5, people living inland will get the benifit of now living in a coastal area.

So it’s not all bad news. Go home, put the heating on, switch on all your electrical appliances and then go for a nice long drive. Let’s bring it on.
