Study reveals how the brain differentiates hot and cold sensations
When we touch something hot or cold, the temperature is consciously sensed. Previous studies have shown that the cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is responsible for thermal sensations. However, how the cortex determines whether something is hot or cold is not well understood. Thermal sensitivity is often subjective and individualistic; what is a comfortable temperature for someone might be too hot or too cold for someone else.
No particular point to make here, apart from mentioning climate activists who screech doom and disaster and claim -
as if they can tell the difference.

The play these loons disrupted is indeed about a shipwreck. But it's mainly about a dream, that never happened in reality.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind.
I have also read of how one cannot tell difference between very hot and very cold. Someone seeing something being heated, and then taken out of their vision while a piece of ice is placed on skin produces some effects of burning.
Only read about it. Truth? I don't know. I have never tried it.
Step outside the front door and you will know if today's weather is hot or cold (or wet or windy etc).
Which is why Climate Activists insist on 'Global Climate' as their standard. It is too big and the data too noisy for the ordinary person to be able to gainsay. Is climate change real? Yes, it has changed over and over in the billions of years of history. Do we understand the mechanisms behind climate change? No, we do not know enough to validate any proposed models. Are people making a nice living from the scam and so are inclined to exaggerate their expertise? Oh yes.
Sam - excellent quote, surely one of them skimmed through the play before the stunt, but maybe Sigourney Weaver was the only point of it.
Doonhamer - I've never tried it either, but it sounds plausible unless tried on someone who knows about the trick.
DJ - I agree, it is a dauntingly complex issue plonked on top of an absurd scam which effectively says the climate has a single control parameter, CO2. Not that any activist or politician would admit this, because to do so would expose the scam.
