I'm sure you do get better at coping, some by lifestyle- siestas etc. Darker skins cope with the damaging rays better.

Not just the heat though- water is the problem, as that gets scarcer, folk can't live in the place.

Agreed. We think there is a "problem" at the minute with migration, you wait a decade or two, there could be ten times the current number pushing to get into Europe

Yep, been saying just that for a while.

Have to get Trump in as consultant to build a wall along Turkey's border.

And through the middle of the med 

Although, as we're an Island and we're not in the EU any longer, so who cares what happens over there, all we need to do is control our own borders, which should be fairly easy to do now

Does it depend on where your from though? - Do African people deal with extreme heat better than people from Nothern Europe say?  - In the same way, do Inuit folk deal with chilly cold temperatures better than Europeans who live along the Med?

I know humans are pretty much are, irrespective of colour/creed kind of "built" the same, but there must be something that makes people born and bred for many generations in certain locals deal with those environments better  - or is it down to clothing 😃 - do we need to start sporting loin clothes in the summer and seal furs in the winter?

Humans adapt to their environment, part of the evolutionary build, so you are correct. 
not just heat and cold, people in the Himalayas for example, have better oxygen retention capacity so they can live comfortably at higher altitudes and we’d struggle to walk up hill there, ling capacity is also higher in communities that depend on free diving for fish in remote islands etc *

When there are millions trying to get over, the response will be far tougher- from everyone.

If that's a National Geographic of dentist vintage the situation will have changed by now.

Aye, amazing what nature can do over a long period of time.

Not sure such time is available at this moment.

Looking a bit shit in Hawaii.   Those pesky arsonists at it again.

Arsonists are getting very sophisticated.

They are equipped with massive hair dryers and disposable barbecues with enough accelerant to create a new sun.

Bastards.

Feel like Im going through the menopause.

Im sweating like a blind lesbian at Fleetwood docks.

Strangely warm, and muggy too.

Not for too long- raining at the weekend, but pleasant nonetheless.

It’s 11pm and still mid-30’s in Pollenca

Apparently the fire bobbies are on high alert for wildfires which are rare as rocking horse shit here.

Franco wouldn’t have put up with this

Worried about climate change but jetting off on holiday. You should be camping in Anglesey having walked there like a true eco warrior

He’ll definitely be asking for your help with his rod.

doubt there’ll be a right lot of fishing going on

[Farrelli]

Bolton fishing club. No equipment needed just enthusiasm.

[gonzo]

My half bro in Chorley is some kind of professional carp fishing mon.

Can spend 3 days at a time camped out next to some random lake in France or Ireland.

Could not think of anything worse. Id end up drowing myself.

Pulling an all nighter by a lake? I’d have thought so
