Drudge has a ton of sidebar headlines all about record setting cold, people dying and extinction etc. etc.

I must be living in the warmest part of the country, our forecast for the next week is mid 20’s above F here in south central Alaska. And I can honestly say that is warm, I can work outside with no major discomfort as long as there is no wind. My acceptable range of working temps in non thermal clothes is 55-65F, during the winter months with it anywhere from 40 above to 40 below and I wear my Underarmor Heat Gear, polypropylene and fleece thermals I only heat my shop no more than 55 above, any warmer the difference from inside to outside will give me the sniffles.

If I had to live in an arctic world where the highest temps were never above 40 degrees I would not suffer, I would get tired if I had to deal with -40 temps more than a month, usually our average cold winter temps are -40 for a week or two where I am 300 miles south of Fairbanks and about 50 miles north of Anchorage.

Even if I were living in sunny warm Florida I would still keep thermal underwear handy, you never know when a glacier might suddenly appear...interestingly enough I have two of them nearby.
