To address a previous moronic comment by woodNfish:

"People thrive in warm weather while more of us die in cold weather."

Actually, more people die in hot weather. Heat is the biggest weather-related killer.

Once again, please do your own research rather than getting all of your "facts" from Rush Limbaugh.

No Bob, you have it wrong. If what you say is true the poles would be fully populated, but they aren't.
As you have probably noticed, humans are not fur-bearing animals. We are more suited to the tropics and only through the great power of our superior minds have we been able to conquer the colder areas and make them livable.

Also, I don't listen to Rush or anyone else. (My wife complains about that all the time.) Radios just don't have good reception in these steel frame buildings. I do listen to a lot of blues though.

Note to "Bob":

You need to start backing up your "statements" with some kind of article, reference, moon-phase or whatever.

(BTW, Rush, unlike you, does backup his statements with sources. Try it, you'll like it!!)

Hey Bob,

It looks like it is more than just humans that thrive in warm weather - I refer you to this link and Paul's post there:

You know what else this points out? Just how adaptable animals really are to changes and not the fragile, break if you look at them, creatures the enviro whackos make them out to be.

On this point I would agree with woodNfish. Humans acclimate to heat and adapt to cold. We do better with the former, not the latter. Recent statistics show that more in this country died of heat than cold mainly because there have fewer severe outbreaks of cold air. It's just another indication of a warmer climate in the U.S. This has been the case for the last 15 or so years; most noticeably.
