Hot under the collar

ONE of Gary Lineker’s gifts as a football striker was the ability to remain calm under pressure. Since retiring, he seems to have gone completely to pieces.

In a panicky tweet yesterday, he seemed to interpret a few days of summer heat as proof that the ‘cancer’ of climate change is about to consume us all.

Yes, global warming is of huge concern, which is why this country has been at the forefront of efforts to combat it. But the weather does sometimes get quite hot in the summer, Gary.

It doesn’t necessarily mean we’re all about to go up in flames. Calm down, man.
