Of course one can have too much of a good thing. During my life, staying warm has been my main problem. Getting cool not so much. In Singapore once, it was too hot for me outside. Near Madrid in the summer of 1974 it was sweltering. In Tokyo in 1991 it was a bit too warm but okay. In Canada in summer in the mid 1970s without air conditioning in my car it got pretty sweaty some afternoons. I have never been worried about too much heat. It has been at most a discomfort of a pleasant sort. A cold beer would work wonders, along with an afternoon off work with my tie off. Cold is another matter. I have often been concerned to ensure I don't die of hypothermia in sea and air. Often I have retreated from cold to a hot haven with hot toddies. When my ratio of cold beers to hot toddies leaves me senseless, I'll know it's getting too hot. Hmm, there could be a logical problem there. I might need somebody to monitor intoxication. Maybe when clothes don't fit beer belly it would be time to worry about Global Warming.

Australians in parts have notable beer belly so perhaps it's already a bit too warm there. Americans are way over the top but that's not so much beer belly as portion size and gluttony. It's certainly not too warm here in Lovely London where the population is trim and are portable pedestrians. In fact it has got decidedly chilly over the last week.

Brrrr.... bring on Global Warming
