| | | Christmas is (almost) here! It is the season of giving, with friends and families getting together and having a hearty meal, usually followed by a gift exchange session. Traditionally, as Christmas takes place in December, many countries around the world celebrate Christmas in winter, with related cold weather activities like ice skating and snowman making. Yet, global warming is changing things.
Last year, New York was a whopping 21 celsius in winter - a massive jump from an average of 0-4 celcius in December each year. This meant that many activities had to be changed without the snow or cold. People were seen playing volleyball shirtless, and some people refused to go ice skating on naturally frozen ponds as the ice layer was simply too thin and dangerous.
