With the scandal of 'Demonfiregate' still looming, and the impending demise of several unnamed players quite possible, many people are starting to be concerned over the worldwide implications of so many nuclear strikes in such a short period.

Experts at the Insitute of magical meteorology, based in New Ofcol, suspect the overall effect upon weather patterns would have a devastating cost to several regions of the world.

"If this sort of thing carries on," said their spokesman earlier, "You'll be looking at such areas as "Tepid wading-pool of Mauldoon" and "Santa's wacky underwater adventure" when the polar caps melt. Winterfell alone would face a rise in temperature of over 20 degrees celsius."

"Our recommendations to the Imms," he continued, "would be to use the other powers at their disposal to make sure the climate shift isn't too extreme. Perhaps if they freeze a few dozen players for 20 years or so, the cooling effect would compensate somewhat."

The Imms have been unavailable for comment.
