Sure it is. Who needs polar ice caps, and who needs to actually LIVE in sub-tropical and tropical zones. Yes, I realise there's no politically possible way to do it. It would have to come about voluntarily, or via fiat (for the totalitarians).
Botanic Photosynthesis. Oceans and land Sequester carbon. Fostering algae will create fisheries. Not making estuaries into Landfill real estate would help that too.
Longer growing seasons, more arable land, more precipitation, higher yields, lower mortality rates from the cold, .... it’s all good. Humans will adapt and develop new economically competitive energy sources as required. We have over 200 years before the global average temperature (if you believe we can actually measure that) increases by 3 deg C. The worst thing the US can do is cripple our economy and allow China to dominate the globe.
Why does the human species continue to demonstrate an inability to cope with even minor weather changes without producing and utilizing specifically designed clothing to compensate for its physical shortcomings?
And if the west does all that it will weaken economic growth resulting in the disparately larger growth of China and eventual domination of the global economy sueleed by power generation from coal. How does that accomplish the alarmists goal of reducing global CO2 emissions ??
The irony in the above is palpable. You have described the cultural and resultant technological evolution of the human race which allows us to populate and thrive in all parts of the earth regardless of local climate conditions.
I'm done with that battle, keep abortions I prefer it remains as is. The global population growth which is crazy high is generally in the developing and impoverished Nations if not the war-torn ones. So anything (that's not horrific) that would slow down global population growth I would be in favor of. what the earth really needs is some awful flu that kills 4 billion of us. but that would be horrific.
Jesus personally I feel that adapting is one thing that we're amazing at. Unless I'm missing some point the other poster wanted to make.
I think human well being that is derived by seeing the earth as something to provide value to humans falls well short of well being. Our sense of value is nothing more than an abstraction that allows us to change from survival in one way to survival in another way. I don't advocate going back to a hunter/gatherer society, but I think if we don't acknowledge that the earth's resources are not unlimited, we doom ourselves. Use it, but don't abuse it, as the cliche says.
Why would you want to have a high population? ↑Bricklayer-- I don't understand why you want humans to multiply. What good comes of that?
