I'll bet that you just put on a scarf for the cold and "skated" on a pond in your school shoes .....

Re: No need to go and live in Spain after all....

On the reverse side of the coin, there is a street in Edinburgh called 'Vine Street' because the weather was so warm they used to grow vines there....

Since the beginning of time, the Earths climate has alternated between hot and cold. The amount of ice at the poles has also alternated, raising and lowering sea levels over time.

So why do we think that we can make a difference to it now.
Something will end up culling the human population, and the cycle will start all over again......
