Reply #28: You know, that is the one sentence in the whole article that I was going to pull out

and comment on. "populations can acclimatize to warmer climates via a range of behavioral, physiological, and technological adaptations".

Who said that? Oh, yeah, the Chamber of Commerce. Yes, it is bizarre, as stated. First of all, it's a blatant example of twisting language to fit one's agenda. The term "warmer" is designed to lull one into thinking it's about the average temp going from 75 to 85 degrees. No, we're talking "hot".

How hot would it have to get before crops won't grow? 110? 130? Right now the new normal here in the midwest is 100 degrees in the summer. Day after day after day. I grew up here. When I was a kid it was never this hot in the summer on an ongoing basis.

And I challenge the COC to state, in detail, the behavioral, physiological and technological adaptations they're promoting. These throw-away lines mean nothing if not accompanied by specifics as to HOW this is to be achieved. Then we'll talk.
