   That’s probably more about you: you’re smarter & wiser than you were when you were young. I’ve seen a few of the TV shows I liked when I was young. They are mostly mind Twinkies.

   I don’t know the current crop of shows. My TV died.

   I’d get another, but I’d hafta kill it, too.

   Just how warm do you think it will get? ! ? ! Have you ever heard of the tropics? The Amazon is teaming with life. Th warm oceans abound. No one (except you?) believes that the poles will reach the temperatures of Brazil.

   Suede civ,The net effect will not be more desert, but more rain. Warmer water evaporates more. If seas rise, more surface area. If North pole melts more evaporation. The real threat in global warming is not desert, but ice age. The open arctic ocean during warming period causes so much snow to fall that it can’t all melt in one summer, causing glaciers.

   re. poison ivy.

   Cute. As long as that’s not the only one, it’s good.

   Maybe it will crowd out the kudzu. I think I like kudzu better.

   Long-term of a warmer world is more rain, more plants, more crops. More fish.

   Short-term disruption means farmers – a conservative lot – plant the wrong crops based on the past, crop failures, human migration toward now-farmable land (Canda, SIberia, previous deserts) away from previously desirable locales.

   Current theories suggest biological evolution is triggered by such stressers, too. So nerw species should arise as non-adaptive ones shrink.

   By ‘short-term’, I mean a few to several human generations.

   We can sometimes get “Velveeta” in Belize, but it’s super-expensive. Exotic import, dontchyano.
