Perhaps it was prophetic to spend a week on a sunny Swedish island in the glorious archipelago that sprinkles its way north from Stockholm along the coast of the Baltic Sea. If southern Europe keeps heating up, and the Welsh beaches on which I munched sandy sandwiches as a child fry in 40°C heat, then many more of us might look to Scandinavia for holidays. Stockholm is stunning, and the islands are perfect for Nordic Swallows and Amazons, the Lake District without the crowds. That might not last if the world cannot control its love of carbon, so go now.
