Climate Change is Heating Up for those who enjoy cold weather. I enjoy warm summers. So the people who enjoy the heat are looking forward to the enhancement to climate. There not much one can do other then changing one personal genetic to adapted for improving weather conditions. Or worsting condition it all depends on the genetic of the population. I say let nature and evolution take it course instead of playing around with it.

CO2 has a half life in the atmosphere of almost one hundred years. What that means, is, that even if we magically were able to go carbon neutral, world wide, today, global warming would go on for at least a few hundred years. That is without assuming that we have reached a tipping point with the melting tundra in the arctic.

So, get ready for a lot more decades, if not centuries, of increasing temperatures, with all of the corollary changes to the climate that will accompany global warming,

Whether global warming is a natural event or caused by CO2 is irrelevant now. The world has to prepare for the massive changes to come. Melting polar icecaps, increased alkalinity of the seas, flooding of low lying grain and rice belts, increased severity and frequency of storms and tornadoes, droughts and food shortages. These are no longer scientific speculation. The threat is real! I wouldn’t be rushing out to buy any waterfront property.

LDTM, I thought the same thing when reading Lindsay's comment. Al Gore bought a $8.9 million beachfront mansion in California in 2010. Others like John Kerry (2017) and Bill Gates (2020) have also bought expensive seafront property, spending $11 mil and 43 mil respectively.
