    I think you are rather gullible...

        Heating our homes for free will also save us from the approaching Ice Age.

        That reminds me, in the old Ice Age-fearing days of the seventies, scientists hatched a cunning plan to cover the Arctic ice with black dye, but I can't remember what for.

        Or it might have been soot.

          It will retain more heat if its black, thereby stopping the expansion of the ice sheet.

            Ah bless. Just turn up your gas fire in your Swindon ex-council house and get cosy. Live the thinking to those who can.
            Hard Brexit now!

                  Yes, that was it. To stop all that shiney ice and snow reflecting the sun's radiation back into space.

                  But if it retained the heat it would melt and trickle away wouldn't it, and you'd have to put a new coat on it every day or so?

                  Oh I don't know. It was supposed to be cunning anyway.
