Since global warming is utter bull****, no.

Incorrect. The world is warming. The argument is over whether humans
are
contributing to it.

And whether it matters. So some countries get better crops, some get
worse, who cares?

People that have nothing to eat will. When we have wiped ourselves out
the planet will still be a rock in space and bacteria and fungus will
evolve to clean up the mess we made.


Utter ****ing bull****.


I only suggested what will happen when/if we wipe ourselves out. People
talk about "saving the planet". That is the bull**** bit - the planet
will save itself.


Now you're being pedantic, either for comic effect or because you're stupid.

Russia could get warm enough to grow crops
where they currently can't for example. Deserts could become wetter and
grow crops. You're just pulling things out of thin air.


It might... or might not.


Every place will change one way or another, if it changes at all. There will be places to grow crops, but not necessarily in the same countries. So only a political problem then.

The climate has always and will always change. See "ice age" on
google. It's not the end of the world, just like a bit of wind isn't.
I've got a severe weather warning here and my shed hasn't even blown
down.

Weather and climate are different things.


But we can't predict either of them.


One is daily local fluctuations, the other is a world trend over decades
and centuries. It is easier to make predictions from trends.


It might be easier to try, but it's not easier to get it right. Statisticians seemed to have made you believe their religion.

This insignificant little
island doesn't have severe weather. It's amazing how worked up we get
about a bit of drizzle.


It's amazing how people all over the world get worked up about a change
that would have happened without our intervention anyway. You never
know, what if it cancels out an ice age and saves us?


You never know... or do you?

Two possibilities: things work out well for us or they don't work out
well. Analysis is more likely to achieve the first outcome than sticking
your fingers in your ears.


Analysis is a waste of time and money. The climate will do whatever it does, we adapt to whatever it does. We already have people living in countries with VASTLY different climates. They all manage just fine.
