With the ice on the road today, it is a timely reminder about workplace tempratures!

There are no set temperature requirements, but the law recommends that in workplaces with little physical activity – such as offices – the temperature should normally be at least 16°C, while in workplaces where physical activity is common it should be at least 13°C

The recent cold spell did make us wonder about all the global warming they promised and taxed us a few years ago!  We found the answer on this site regarding An email from Madhav Khandekar [mkhandekar@rogers.com], an IPCC reviewer:

It is now generally accepted by most scientists (except some die-hard AGW adherents) that the earth’s mean temperature has NOT (I repeat NOT) increased in the last few years, OR to be precise, NOT increased since about mid-1998, when the SSTs (Sea Surface temperatures) started to decline. Since then, SSTs have declined steadily over world-oceans and as a result the land area mean temperature has stayed essentially the same over Northern Hemisphere (due to large urban effects which the AGW adherents refuse to accept) while in the Southern Hemisphere the mean temperature has definitely declined, as shown clearly by the satellite data.

I guess that means that there will be a market for toboggans this winter!
