Rabbits can indeed die from the cold. While rabbits are able to handle cold better than heat, if the rabbit does not have adequate shelter, food or water, it can die. A rabbit must be able to get out of the rain as well, because a wet rabbit is unable to maintain their body temperature. Also, if the rabbit is breeding during the winter, baby rabbits are born without fur, so a nursing box is essential to keep the babies alive.

They can live in virtually all climates. They have species that live in the arctic (Artic Hare) and some that live in the deserts or Florida and many other hot and cold places around the world.

No because rabbits are warm blooded and have a dense coat of fur and are completely fine inside a house :)

What do rabbits perfer cold or warm?

Rabbits can handle cold weather if sheltered properly. But if a rabbit becomes to accustomed to the cold a warm environment can be too warm for it so it is good to balance it out. But if there isn't a way and if it is either cold or warm, rabbits prefer a cold environment as they have a fur coat, which contains natural oils to keep it warm!

Can netherland dwarf rabbits handle cold weather?

No, these types of rabbits usually have short hair. These rabbits get cold faster than normal sized rabbits like Rex rabbits. To keep them warm in cold weather, cover the cage with a heavy, warm blanket (this will prevent cold air). Next, give your rabbit a little extra food and treats. And always give your pet rabbit plenty of fresh water.
