I always thought that temperatures rise around the world then we'll just become a hot country like the ones we go to on holiday to get some decent sun.
Will be catastrophic for those hot countries if they become uninhabitable during the summer - and wildlife, vegetation. Doesn't really bear thinking about but we might be doing more than just think about it if this keeps up!"Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?

Anything that flies will need to land eventually and therefore will need to float...unless of course it is cloudbaseOriginally posted by Jog On View PostHopefully by the time anything like this is needed it will fly as well
