I have never understood why Canadians, of all the people on the earth, would be concerned about a warming climate.
Well, outside of about a hundred academics, we aren’t.
If the theory were correct, it would do us more good than harm. Vast areas that cannot be inhabited now, or farmed, could be opened up. However, anyone who suggests that would be branded by this tiny band of zealots as a “climate criminal” for encouraging the destruction of other less fortunate places.
However, as I don’t believe the trends are very dramatic, I don’t really think that any of those benefits or problems will ever happen anyway.
Mass delusion has always existed, of course, but this one is particularly strange. It can be sustained, though, since about half the time the weather is likely to be warmer than average and every year a few unusual events are bound to happen. However, as I’ve posted before, climate change zealots should be challenged to put money on these three propositions:
— there will be a more severe heat wave than 1936.
— there will be a worse tornado outbreak than 1925.
— there will be a more destructive hurricane than 1900.
I would put a hundred bucks on only one of these three being surpassed by 2100 but I won’t be around to collect.
