Temperature control,bugs and global warming

Incase u didn`t realise the UK is stupidly hot* at the moment.
Now the UK doesn`t get stupidly hot so nowhere has air conditioning!!
A plus side to this was having brief spell of lightning and seeing somewhere being hit by it and glowing for a while afterwards.

U guys need to come up with ideas to stop the ppl of the UK from frying.
Obviously fans would be a start but what kind and is there any better cooling solution than fans because i don`t want to be burning up too much electricty with them on all the time and i probably couldn`t get my hands on liquid nitrogen

Another side effect of this is there is a hell of a lot more bug around moths,flys,ladybirds,ants and godknowswhat but thankfully not so many wasps or bees.
most of the time i can use insecticide spray or a flamethrower
(aerosol can and zippo) but in confined spaces and in places where food is prepared i can`t use these options so im left with the bb gun and good old fly swat but im considering traps.
What kind of insects occupy ur region and what measures do u go to to deal with them or are u not bothered about them??


One thing im wondering is if this freak weather is caused by gloabl warming and aside from the usuall blame falling on cars, how much damage do the space shuttles and airliners, etc which burn up insane amouns of fuel, do to the atmosphere?


*Another wonderful thing about the UK is whenever the weathers slightly off,be it a little more rain than usual or a little snow something always breaks,fails or shuts down.

In this heatwave the trains were held up because the railway lines were buckling under the heat,if its not leaves on the line amongst other things and the prices they charge for a ride .
When theres a little extra rain,rivers burst the banks and ppls houses get flooded.
If theres a little more snow the roads get blocked and when the bastard gritter truck comes along it sprays grit everywhere like it was being shot out with a pellet gun.

Usually around 50F or 60F on cold days in Southern California... 70F to 80F on warm/mid hot days.... and 90F on burning hot days.

In my computer it is hell.

Edit: Before you even ask, though it may seem like it, I do NOT live in my computer case.

moving to continent might solve your problems .... but i can't think of anybody who will shelter several millions of Roatbeeves


no , but seriously , just look at France right now , there are almost no fans remaining in shops , water is lacking for agriculture and our own personnal use , each day , huge fires get started in the south .... one thing though , we don't have any probs with our railways and trains .....

This is too freaky, been close to 100F last couple of days, it aint meant to be like this here ***

It's 88 right now, 30% chance of rain (which we despreately need, my lawn is mostly brown right now).

I can't wait to get a freezing cold Kansas winter.

Not to mention it's hell (excuse the pun) to sleep in
Hehe...I pity tha fools who have black leather car upholstery
Once in Sicily I burnt my nether region by getting in the car (It was a FIAT 500 so no, there wasn't any airco )

Quote[/b] ]The hot weather means an extra three million pints of beer are expected to be have been downed across Britain over the weekend.

And on that bombshell, I'm off to the pub!
