I heard that a large percentage of your food intake goes into keeping your body at the right temperature. Does that mean if you lived at exactly 37C (100F I believe) you wouldn't have to eat as much, and that people who live in arctic temperature have to eat a lot more?

The lowest recorded temp. in modern history (−89.2 °C) was below the sublimation point of CO2. During colder eras, were polar regions laden with dry-ice? How did the deposition of CO2 into the polar regions affect atmospheric composition woldwide and how extensive were the dry-ice sheets?
