This is why I think mild, warm temperatures are superior to cold and freezing temperatures: (snowy, season)

You both seem to be easily offended by anyone that doesn't have your weather preferences with liking bitterly cold weather.

My theory has not been debunked. Many people agreed with my thread subject and thought it was a great thread subject.

You know, the beauty of this planet is that different areas have different climates. If you want cold, you can have it. If you want warm, you can have it. Some above posters do make some good points, the OP is getting a bit redundant and annoying. Just because someone doesn't enjoy tropical climates like Miami's doesn't mean that they would be particularly fond of Irkutsk, Russia. Just leave people alone. You can like whatever climate you want.

I think this is the first time that I actually agree with you , good post +1

I remember seeing a climate movie a while back where there were icebergs floating in Miami harbour.. can't remember the name of it.. but don't think that will happen anytime soon Balance is always the key especially when it comes to mother Earth.

Anyways, I got like 8 rep points for this thread subject so a lot of people agreed with aspects of my thread subject.

This isn't a contest, which has been pointed out to you. On the climate threads, "everyone likes my climate more than your climate", please I left that behind in grade school! Are you posting about warm weather constantly just to get all the "warm" folks to rep you??? Being on C-D isn't about points!

I've been posting on weather for maybe 3 yrs. if not closer to 4, and all this warm vs. cold is getting ridiculous. In the past, we have had perpetual whiners about cloudy days or cool temps, but those posts were always intermingled with other stuff.

We've always had good natured bantering among the regulars knowing full well some of us like cooler weather, 4 seasons and others don't. It has always been fun and light hearted, not a contest, and as regulars we got along, good natured bickering, and I just don't see that anymore.

Now it seems some people are always pushing their points and looking for a fight. There is no right or wrong. I don't like real warm weather, plenty of people do, I don't care and I don't try to convince them 4 seasons are better.

Was it The Day After Tomorrow?



I remember this movie had some plot elements that were kind of implausible/silly from a real-life point of view (like the characters trying to outrun a frost), but it was meant to be a blockbuster disaster film and it was .

Don't know if this is what you're talking about (or if you meant an actual serious film/documentary on climate), but it reminds me of it.

I don't feel it was debunked. No matter WHERE people live they usually have some control over their environment inside. If I had to guess, and it's only a guess, the average person likes to have temperatures between 70 and 75. Yes, some will set the air conditioner to 80, maybe higher, some will set the furnace to kick on at 60 or 65. But I don't think anyone prefers inside temperatures of 90 or above, or 50 and below. Most people will fall, however, within that preferred range of 70 to 75.

I don't think it was the Day After Tomorrow but if I remember correctly it was a lower budget film that had a similar end-of-the-world scenario climate theme. I'll have to see if I can do some more digging to find the name... it escapes me right now.

But the cold/flu season does come during the winter season.

I think there are many ideas as to why the flu/cold season comes at the time when the cold weather arrives, like for instance cold weather having an effect on people's immune systems, making them get sick more easily, people spending more times indoors when it's cold and catching it more easily in dense public places, less humidity in the air that dries out the air you breath etc., though I'm no expert on these things.

The cold and flu season is during the winter because most people are indoors. You can still get a cold or flu during the summer if you come in contact with someone who's sick.

Being indoors during the winter traps the virus indoors where most people are and that's why more people get sick then. Has nothing to do with the temperature

But I have heard that uncomfortable temperatures can influence people's immune system, which affects whether they are more likely to get sick or not.
