Is that why human have historically huddled around the equator? <Heat is the problem for humanity.. Not the cold...> I'm chuckling here. Billions of animals have been skinned with people wearing their fur to keep warm, even in Africa, the home of humans where there's heat galore. The rag trade is essentially a stay warm industry. It's vast. The housing industry is vast too and the main purpose of housing is to keep cold weather out and heat in. Fireplaces were a vast industry in Lovely London where I'm current resident. Chimneys are the dominant feature on the millions of terraced houses. Thank goodness they are not belching the clouds of smoke they used to do, turning the city black. You need to do some biology courses to learn about humans needing heat. People have died of cold far more than have died of heat. You'd think an aviator would know about cold, hypothermia and loss of brain function in cold. Especially if said aviator had flown in open cockpit aircraft where the cold air swirls around and makes it really chilly. Humans need heat. Period. Full stop too. One more chuckle for the road, Mqurice
