Letter to the Editor

Germany is preparing for winter with periods without gas or electricity to keep warm. My 82 year old sister wrote that she has bought a sleeping bag, and so have many others; to snuggle in and keep warm, and have also stocked up with candles and batteries for the torch.

Our myopic Environment minister, Chris Bowen and the equally myopic Greens are hell-bent to inflict the above an us. While the people living in southern hemisphere of Australia, south of the Tropic of Capricorn, are well advised to invest in warm sleeping bags; candles and batteries. However, what should we do in the top half without fans and air-conditioning?? Invest in ice-bags?

Sincerely yours,

Werner Schmidlin
