Do you agree with our readers? Have your say on these MetroTalk topics and more in the comments. As ever, the likes of Edward (MetroTalk, Mon) try to dismiss warnings of climate change, on the basis that we had a very cold winter. I imagine he’ll be surprised to discover those ‘so-called’ climate experts he scoffs at have actually been doing the research, and have found that the colder winters are linked to the hotter summers.

As more of the icecaps melt, it causes a knock-on effect, which pushes colder air away from the poles and towards the equator, leading to more cold snaps and more cases of us hitting sub-zero temperatures over time. I’d ask Edward and all the other deniers to read up on this before complaining about something they are ill-informed on. Matthew, Birmingham.

‘Perhaps Greenland confused him’. Is Donald Trump’s bid for Greenland linked with his indifference to climate disruption? Perhaps he’s convinced that if global warming causes the island’s ice sheet to melt, then it will reveal numerous golf courses on which he can play.

Or perhaps the territory being known as ‘green land’ has confused him. John, Manchester. ‘I hope that Trump appreciates this’. I’m saddened by the Los Angeles fires, yet delighted that the US are getting help from Mexico and Canada, I hope that president-elect Trump appreciates this. Andrew Edwards, Islington.

‘Everyone tries to sound american these days’. Josephine from Acton (MetroTalk, Mon) says Canada and the UK should watch out in case Trump wants us to become part of the USA after he gets his hands on Greenland. The way everyone tries to sound American these days, starting sentences with ‘So’, and greeting people with ‘Hey’, I thought we already were. Chris, via email.
