Why's it Gotta Be So Cold?!

Why do humans live in temperate climates? We are children of the sun...Humanity thrives on the warmth of the sun and we know it. We are warm blooded mammals. You can even see it in our mythology. And I don't mean our historic mythology, but our current. See Kill Bill Vol.2 for an explanation by Bill himself about how comic book heroes tell the underlying story of our humanity, and he also uses the archetypal character: Superman.

Bill uses Superman as an example of a critique on the human race because his alter ego is actually his meek human form and Superman is actually who he is. But my whole point is that Superman needs the yellow sun to survive. He literally thrives and derives all his superpowers from the rays of the sun. Our mythology even points to our reliance on the warmth of the sun, yet humanity lives in such frigid places. Yes, I'm bitter about it being cold...but not for much longer.
