I don't know if you been paying attention to the news but this winter supposed to be warmer than usual so as the months go by if you're hibernating your tortoise you're going to have to give a pretty good eye on it
You mean all that hype about global warming was true?

HA! NO! It was a total fraud and they got caught and were forced to admit it. Then they came back two years later and re-named it "climate change" and the masses didn't seem to even notice the smokescreen...
Yep, 12°c last Christmas day up here in the north.Well here in the UK the climate has definitely changed and the winters are warmer. Where I grew up in Yorkshire used to get lots of snow every winter and now gets next to none 40 years later.
Here in Kent, we're switching to fridge hibernation this winter because we can't guarantee temperatures any more. We had a week before Christmas last year at 17C/63F which would have been unheard of a decade ago.
Whether this is permanent or a natural fluctuation, I have no idea. I have seen letters written by people in this area in the 1850s where they say the winters have got very warm and there were no frosts... so it's happened before.

The coastline hasn't changed much. The Yorkshire coast is being eroded away, but not that much. The East coast is disappearing.Where was the coast back then? Or was it a lot longer ago that the coast was further inland?
I know they have had trouble finding some places in the isles because they were looking for an island according to old records and now it is a hill far away from the coast lol.

There are places not far from me in Kent that used to be coastal a couple of hundred years ago that are now inland. With climate change, I guess that may be reversed. Sea levels are definitely rising.
Global warming is true. Our winters haven't been like when I was a kid or young adult. Lot less snow, less time of having snow and warmer longer falls and most time Warner springs. When they say we are having a bad winter, it's usually for about a week of real cold temps and more then average snow. My younger days, it was snow most of the winter.
Next week, mid to upper 70's and even an 80 day. Not normal compared to a few years ago.
Barefoot LOL. But I'm not that old those times were my parentsSounds like all the reasons I moved down south !
Speaking of "younger days" you forgot "walking 5 miles to school" !
