Just been at an energy workshop and being a keen environmentalist (as well as being a normal mentalist) I was keen to hear their evidence regarding Global warming. It was great stuff: over the last six years it has been recorded that our winters are getting warmer, the summers hotter and there is less rain fall each year. This surely is not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned. The weather may become a bit more erratic but I can live with that.
In fact looking at the global picture the temperate regions benefit to the detriment of the tropical/desert regions. But there is a dilema. The biggest producers of CO2 (Europe and USA) will not be adversely effected as the African/Middle Eastern regions, yet they contribute less CO2. Some Asian countries (China for example contribute significant levels of methane from the paddy fields) also are fault and may be effected by the rise in sea level.
So in essence we've signed up to the Kyoto pact, and are legally bound to prevent changing our climate (to our advantage) and becoming a lovley warm country with happy citizens.
That sucks, we should be selfish like the Americans and consider our own people for a change. So I am about to make a u-turn, let's encourage the Whales to eat the nasty plankton, we can still cut down the rainforest but we should then make some big boats from it and go around in them attacking Whalers, I hereby want people to engage in more bottom squeaking and let's have more ruminating animals, such as cows, doing likewise.
Give us 50 years and we could have a tropical paradise Island. Surely in a sustainable society we owe it to our children to do this. We can become a sporting nation again, a happy beach loving nation with cool tans (derived from the depletion of the Ozone layer-another good cause) and a zest for our coconut lager.
Greenpeace have lied to us all these years.

But you can always put layers on. I'm not prepared to shed my skin.

I like Global warming also.
The notion I can swan about in flip-flops and a knotted hankie, even during November is pleasing to me.

You that like the winter, insted of telling us sun-ra's to go live with Johnny Foreigner, may I suggest you move to Norway where you can dwell with blone-haired, blue eyed Nordic hardy-types, enjoy sub-freezing temperatures for months at a time and listen to death-metal sung by sulky teens in corpse paint.
I shall be wearing Factor-900 and waving goodbye to Kent as it sinks beneath tropical ocean tides.
Hotter weather, no low-level counties is the future.
Do not fear it

That sounds like something Monkey man would say...
Maybe we should have a dedicated food forum just for him.

Even the seas are against us. This time being an Island nation is of no benefit, damn it we are surrounded. Cornwall will be the first to fall, then Devon and perhaps even the Scilly Isles, though they do have some ferocious Puffin to protect them.
Once the supply of Pasties and other tasty pastries is stemmed, the rest of the countries of the free world will apple crumble and desert us, leaving us to be creamed.
There is no spoon!

I though that there were only four beetles: John, Ringo, Stag and Dung.
Imagine being a dung beetle though, you eat sh*t, live and shag in sh*t, roll sh*t and I dread to think what kind of sh*t a dung beetle sh*ts...

There's one problem though - nobody's sure exactly what effect global warming will have. It may have exactly the effect you described. Another possibility is that the Gulf Stream will be switched off completely and we'll have a climate similar to Siberia. But by the time I click "post this message" we're probably at war with the Gulf Stream anyway.
I'm readying myself for the next ice age (not the sequel to the film). So I bought some mammal eggs and am storing them in my fridge/freezer (not that I have one of those. You either do it properly or not at all).
And did you know, there are more species of beetle on this planet than all other species put together. How fascinating.
