Explain that one to me again?

Oh no!  How awful - surely the temperature will now run away ever upwards, leaving us sweltering.  How could this have happened?
This was due to extra energy demand in cold weather
Arrgggh! All those heaters being turned on, using energy to keep people warm despite the awful winter...?

Hang on a minute... let me read that again:
