I was always amazed whenever the warmists would construct their doomist scenarios, why global warming always made things worse. I’ll bet there were a few faces in the crowd at those “we are doomed” speeches by the likes of Hansen and other warmists who wanted to ask the same thing. If we are warming the planet (or the planet is getting warmer..same difference), wouldn’t that make a huge part of the planet (Russia, Canada) more habitable? Always disaster with these types. I certainly don’t mind warmer winters here in Wisconsin.
Suppose Man could raise or lower the mean temperature of the climate. Given the current hysteria about warming, perhaps the “climate managers” would like to lower the “world temperature” by a few degrees. That might make the planet's deserts more habitable, while driving people out of the colder areas (Canada & Russia?) of the planet. Who will decide that Saudi Arabia deserves a better climate at the expense of Canada & Russia?
Given that the vast majority of world power & wealth is located in the Northern Hemisphere above the Tropic of Cancer, Climate Managers are likely to favor this area of the world when making climate changes, leading to small increases in temperature to satisfy the Russians, Canadians, Germans, Swedes, etc., at the expense of warmer, but less affluent areas of the planet.
I'd like to hear a Leftist justify this as “fair” to sweltering, impoverished Africa.
The truth is, man has neither the ability to manipulate the climate, nor the wisdom to do it responsibly.
