The headline is a question and a direct quote from another great essay at WUWT by Eric Worrall. He’s fisking some of the latest fearmongering by so-called experts pimping the 1.5C fantasy. We’ll all die, they say. No, actually we won’t.
[The] Last time the world was really hot, The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, 5-8C hotter than today, the species which did really well was monkeys. Our monkey ancestors colonised much of Eurasia and North America, feasting on the abundance which the PETM warmth delivered. The monkeys passed through the warm temperate forests of Greenland on their journey. Our monkey ancestors only retreated when the warm age ended, because they were driven out of their new homes by the encroaching cold.
Food security is a hot topic for warmists. When they are not applauding countries or billionaires that hate us buying up farmland, they are going on about how that mythical 1.5C will be the end of our food supply—warming catalyzed by … plant food. CO2 has greened the earth in recent decades, expanding arable land and food production. However, they are still at it, and Worrell’s question will go unanswered unless one of the breathless scolds can manage to shout denier at him.
As for the food supply, the biggest threat to that is the Climate Cult and their ruling class globalist advocates.
It’s not the temperature we need to reduce – that’ll happen on its own – it’s the prevalence of climate douchebags and their war on farming and ranching.
