Cold in general prompts the body to begin to hold fat. Heat makes breaking of bonds easier.

Yes but if the body is trying to maintain normal body temperature it is necessary to burn fat if you are not eating to excess.

Cold in general also makes your brown fat more prominent relative to the white fat. The brown fat is the good one, and its purpose is to dissipates heat. If you are never cold, it will get reduced to the minimum in a 'use it or loose' it sense.
