This July rained cats and dogs. I have two reasons to bemiffed at this season's weather. The first is that summer is my favourite season before the tedious inevitability of gloomy autumn days. The second reason has to do with climate change. There has been a dawning realisation over the last year and a half in our weather-obsessed country that human-induced climate change presents a genuine challenge. There's a national debate of sorts, with a massive increase in media interest about energy policy, our buying habits, the way we travel and so on.
