    Since you can't tell the difference between 'tropical' and 'warmer', attempting to explain the much more subtle implication of your words would be futile, so I won't.
    Poor Roy, nitpicking again to avoid his massive blunder in failing to read and now blaming me, when he didn’t read it to begin with! Too precious. So do you admit that I never said nor implied that Singapore was in the Southern Hemisphere now? Are you trying to cover up this blunder you made with your obvious inability to read?

    • If Roy wasn't allowed to nitpick and play "Gotcha!" games then he would never have anything to say.
      Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
      But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
      Than a fool in the eyes of God

          Still no admission you were wrong...

            No, I'm laughing at you demeaning others' reading ability when you can't even read your own posts.

              Admit to your mistake or try nitpicking your way out. Your choice.

                The Sahara is decidedly warmer as well, but is not 'tropical'. Tropical does not refer to the temperature alone, it also refers to humidity and rain patterns and a climate which has only one of the multiple defining factors of tropical is NOT tropical. Therefore warmer != tropical
                My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
