That's not how geography works... Do you consider Sao Polo to be in north America because Johannesburg is more southern?

  No, and it’s clear that it wasn’t my point so don’t be silly or obtuse. People don’t realize how far north most of Europe is because of its very temperate climate powered by the golf stream. Everything from the English Channel up to the Baltics should be much much colder than it is. The daily mean temperature in London is around 6c in January vs lower than -8c in Calgary. The record low temperatures in London are higher than the mean daily minimum in Calgary. Besides the impact on things like farming the infrastructure of many European cities isn’t built to withstand the winters it may have in a few decades.

    > The daily mean temperature in London is around 6c in January vs lower than -8c in Calgary. You can't compare a coastal city with an average elevation of like 10 meters and an inland city perched more than 1000m above sea...

      Fine let’s compare it to Charlottetown it’s 5 degrees further south than London and its daily mean in January is -8c as well…
