There have been quite a number of books written about why the world's
dominant, most productive and innovative civilizations (at least in the
last several hundred years) have all been in colder climates.

It's a pretty well supported theory that the growth of human intelligence
was fed by ice ages.

Personally, I'd rather be dumb but warm than smart but freezing my ass off.
