Plenty of people live in places with average temperatures way higher than most Americans, and last time I checked, they are not dying. On the contrary, in countries like Brazil, the absence of severe winters in most of the country allow for multiple crops per year and raising free-range cattle all year round.
I had a lefty friend tell me 2 degrees C increase would destroy humanity. He said ‘we have taken 100,000 years to become who we are at this temperature. We can’t adapt to a sudden two degree rise over a mere fifty years!’ I said ‘I go to my house in Mexico every winter. It is consistently 20 degrees C warmer. I adapt by putting on flip flops. It isn’t that hard.’
Humans can live in Northern Alberta, and Venezuela. Probably 30 degrees C difference. No problem living in both climate zones. As if a degree or two change would even be noticed.
and ps. Human beings are the only ANIMAL that has adapted to living in every damn climate on earth. Using our brains and inventiveness. We are the same species...what other species has done that?
