A two to three degree rise in temperature would be quite welcome.

Unless you live in New Orleans, NYC or other low lying coastal city. The extra
heat can cause more melting in Greenland & Antarctica. Warmer water also

On the other hand, would you want it to be a bit warmer in Arizona or Texas? Of
course, a change in climate may bring with it significant changes in storms
too. For example, hurricanes are powered by heat from the ocean. If the oceans
are warmer, then there may be more damage from hurricanes. Thunderstorms
trigger tornadoes and thunderstorms are driven by heat too, so...

It's working out great so far, isn't it.
Here in the Southeast we had killer tornadoes in frickin'
January. And then there was hurricane Sandy and the
blizzard in the Northeast. And just for fun, some record

This kind of stuff did not used to happen. There was a time
within my memory when every year the weather was actually
not more destructive than the previous year.
I do not think flying construction materials are a good
thing. They are in the same category as combustible rivers.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
