...Over the past 10,000 years, however, the climate has remained remarkably stable by historical standards: not too warm and not too cold, or Goldilocks weather.

To hold March's meeting of the G-20, London shelled out an estimated $131 million - a big number for any city to absorb, and more than four times the expected cost.
