Hottest day ever recorded in England

1) Don't buy AC machines. It's stupid. They won't work anyway because they will cause a failure of the electrical net (an overload) and as a result no devices, not just the ACM, will not work. The French and the Americans have made that mistake, don't do the same.
2) Eat icecream.
3) Drink cold drinks, e.g. mineral water.

LOL!
ACs work (I cannot remember the last time Houston had an electrical failure because of AC's)
Icecream is for people who live on Castro Street
COld drinks will cause cramps

NYC had such an electrical failure several days ago. 100,000 people couldn't use electrical devices until power was restored a day later.

Air conditioners don't work? That's pretty funny. It's an extremely unusual event where I live at if the power is out more than a minute and even having the power blink off seldom happens. I wish it wouldn't happen at all but sometimes it does. It takes an extreme ice storm or probably a major hurricane to knock out power for a few days. I know of some people who had it happen to them. I would like to praise the inventor of the air conditioner. I bet the air conditioner has saved many lives and I wouldn't blame any European if they wanted to get one to beat the heat.

Poor engineering? No. Bloomberg!

So now I am to blame for the deaths of 17k? Who else is to blame? Not any of you of course...

not saying its your fault or anyones....
just saying its a problem.

I am sure it is a problem, but I was not talking about those people.

I thinks its a problem. Dont know if its man made or just a natural cycle to be 100% sure. But more and more people that study this stuff on a daily basis are saying its man made and not a normal cycle. So I think it is most likely man made. But then I think of volcanos and how much they spew into the atmosphere, and it seems we dont do much in comparison. What ever the case, I think we will still be here and we will survive in the next 100 years probably much more. It will be tough in the near future I think.
