I have noticed this too. It predictably appears whenever there is a heatwave. I also don't really see these articles reflecting reality - a lot of places have AC, its not really unaffordable to get a portable setup if you don't ha

It doesn't work out anyway. If you work out how much light these satellites can reflect it is practically nothing and certainly not economically viable. The company seems to be little more than a way to extract money from fools.

Feels like a bad bet. People are not immortal. What happens if he gets hit by a bus or has a heart attack?

Depends on your MP. I have received surprisingly detailed responses to some of my past letters. If they can't be arsed to answer you, then you shouldn't be arsed to vote for them, at least in my opinion.
