![]() "chemist" wrote IT IS OBVIOUS. Most of all my acquaintances have relatives who died in winter. None have died from heat stroke, you daft bat. On the other hand, I don't know anyone who has a relative who has died as a result of cold or heat. But I did have some neighbours who died in a fire one Christmas eve. Tragic, only a young daughter survived the fire. By your logic then, Christmas causes house fires. |

Tragic, only a young daughter survived the fire. By your logic then, Christmas causes house fires. People doing really stupid things at Christmas like using candles in close proximity to flammable decorations and on Xmas trees certainly do increase the incidence of house fires at Xmas. Statistically there is an increase in house fires at or near Xmas. USFA reckon about 200 fires annually are started by Xmas trees for instance. http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/citizens/all.../treefire.shtm The fire risk is much higher if you don't keep the tree properly watered. A dry fir tree burns very fast. Regards, Martin Brown |

Compared with the seasonal excess of 40,000 who die in winter annually every year in the UK alone? The UK has *very* mild summers - they are an insignificant threat to public health. Mostly they are beneficial. The lowest monthly death rate coincides with the warmest month of August. The winters are worse (but not as bad as you might expect for latitude 50-55N).

Somehow people drowning is acceptable because we can't get rid of water, but weather is different? |

Let's ban breathing! Fossil fool logic takes time to get used to. |

Let's ban breathing! Fossil fool logic takes time to get used to. OR *weather* is as out of your control as water is, it's everywhere and you might be able to fence a pool or put danger signs on buckets, but you can't stop water from doing what water does - it's everywhere. |
