Many people feel that a change in climate might not be such a bad thing, but the way it affects our bodies could cause as much damage as any bad weather or sea rises FIRST Minister Rhodri Morgan famously declared that climate change would not be "entirely unhelpful" if it brought summer weather similar to California's or Spain's to Wales. We would all welcome the prospect of better - and warmer - weather, following this summer's washout, but surely, given all the warnings about the apocalyptical threat that global warming poses as temperatures soar and the changing weather patterns destroy some of the principle vestiges of civilisation, climate change will not have such a benign impact on Wales.
THE crew of the Hull And Humber Clipper arrived in San Francisco after 6,000 miles and 34 long days at sea, crossing the punishing Pacific from Qingdao China to California non-stop. A relieved and emotional crew were pleased to be on dry land, albeit minus their skipper, Piers Dudin, who was evacuated by the Japanese Navy after sustaining an open fracture to his leg in a violent storm, as reported.

With the leaves blown away and taking the leaf peepers with them, the tourism industry is quickly shifting gears to woo skiers and snowmobilers in hopes the fall and winter seasons will make up for a summer hit hard by recession and April showers that stretched into July. International travel was up, especially from Canada, France and England, boosted by a favorable exchange rate, while in-state and regional tourism flourished as people stayed closer to home. According to the Travel Industry Association of America, 75 percent of travelers expect to book a packaged vacation to save money, and six out of 10 will comparison shop online for the best deals.

SOME of his views would make Genghis Khan blush, but as one of our most outspoken TV personalities, Jeremy Clarkson has built up a devoted following who tune in to Top Gear not only for the cars, but for his scabrous wit. Now, more than 28,000 have signed a Downing Street petition for Clarkson to be declared Prime Minister. Here, in the spirit of fun and with apologies for bad taste and to the man himself LEO McKINSTRY imagines Clarkson's manifesto. ENCOURAGE GLOBAL WARMING BRITONS will be encouraged, through discounts and tax relief, to drive 4x4s, Jaguars and BMWs. Not only will this give a valuable boost to our oil industry, but it will encourage climate change. And what's not to like about global warming? Holland gets flooded and we get California's weather. That's what I call a...

MAKING it in Hollywood is hard, it is said. Well, getting there can have its fair share of problems, too. For example-never, if you can help it, take a wilful, widdlesome toddler on the 11-hour flight to California. Otherwise, oh boy, do you need a holiday by the time you get there. Even getting in isn't easy. On arrival at immigration we are fingerprinted and mug-shot before finally being freed to wing our way by cab up La Cienega Boulevard towards Hollywood. En route we roll past the numerous shiny glass shop fronts selling everything from fat-burgers to bikini waxes, dwarfed by the 100ft-high billboards screaming for business. It's a sell, sell, sell assault on the jetlagged senses that never lets up.

IT'S early morning in Los Angeles when Aimee Bender answers the phone. The weather is still turn-of-the-year cool, not yet the warm days of March when Rose Edelstein, the heroine of her new novel, The Particular Sadness Of Lemon Cake, celebrates her ninth birthday. Rose's birthday cake brings an unwelcome surprise, a taste not only of lemons and chocolate frosting but of "smallness, the sensation of shrinking, of upset ... a hollowness". Her mother had made it, and in it she tastes her mother's loneliness.

So, we were in San Francisco, Tony Bennett's city by the bay, and we were just about to go out for a walk. This was at the end of October, a month when the West Coast's weather is notoriously unpredictable, as Indian summer turns into Hong Kong shower and back again at the drop of a San Francisco Giants baseball cap. And since it had started to rain heavily (Albert Hammond once wrote a song called It Never Rains in Southern California, which is a bit like saying it never rains in Wales), I swapped my thin black loafers for my bulbous once-box-fresh trainers. This was sensible, I thought, because although I almost never wear them outside the gym (why would I?), I didn't have any boots with me, and it didn't make sense to wear leather shoes in the wet.
