Some time in a past century, this is my personal theory, a tsar must have exiled the wrong person to Siberia, the person who would go on to invent summer. If time travelers were inclined to intervene they already would have, so now, in the heatwave of my discontent, I must fall back on mad scientists to save my bacon from frying (and if you’re not mad yet, it’s probably because you spend too much on air conditioning). It would be one historical finger’s touch to banish the inventor to Death Valley instead, and think of the long-term benefits!
