Thanks for all of the comments. Just for the avoidance of doubt, I'm not suggesting converting energy or using energy to cool air. What I am suggesting (like the greenhouse idea) is taking the heat during the summer and allow it to heat a mass of something to a higher temperature than we need in winter, insulate that really well so no heat escapes (or as little as possible) and then allow that heat to be released when the temperatures are lower; it will flow naturally from higher temperature to lower temperature areas (like our houses) ... entropy in action! Can't be beyond our reach, can it? Or is this economics or lobbying from the energy industry to prevent it from happening?

Lots and lots of people are telling us today about the heat.
What I would like them to do is work out a way of capturing and storing all of this heat in the summer to release back to us in the winter.
Just finished: Hitler's Secret by Rory Clements A Prince & a Spy by Rory Clements Both WWII thrillers involving Cambridge Don Tom Wilde. Far fetched escapism & I've finished the whole series now.
The Finest Hotel in Kabul by Lyse Doucet. The story of the Inter Continental hotel as it and the people who relied on it lived through troubled times. A must read in my humble opinion.
Just started: Banking on Murder by Jonathan Whitelaw, a cosy crime novel. Easy reading after ploughing into something heavy.
Recommend: North Run by LM Jones. First in the detective inspector Sarah Allerton crime series.
