Since Sir David’s exhortations, some 250,000 Brits have died from the cold, and 10,000 from the heat.

You know, I would really, really like to see some proof of that statement. I frankly do not believe that it is possible to die of cold in the British climate, other than in special circumstances like becoming lost, unprepared, on a Scottish mountainside. (In which case the death is arguably from stupidity, not cold.)
I would suspect that, if these deaths even happened, they were in fact caused by excessive alcohol and/or drug use, not cold. As a parallel, people who die from anorexia may technically have starved, but it's not because food was not readily available to them.
As to the rest, it's nothing more than obvious wishful thinking; ongoing attempts to prove that the world really is flat, and that perpetual motion machine is for sure going to work this time...
