SAFE CLIMATE ZONE

False premises and false dichotomy.
Why not include the best option?
Stability. Predictability.

We want to stay in the SAFE CLIMATE ZONE;

The stable temperatures that allowed the development of agriculture and human civilization to arise. But we have already left it.


Global warming is causing more deaths, diseases and starvation.

HEAT WAVES

Intense, prolonged heatwaves, such as the record-breaking ones we’ve seen around the world in recent years, will become stronger and more frequent. The 2003 European heatwave, responsible for over 70,000 deaths as well as extensive wildfires and flooding from melting glaciers, was one of the first events for which the impact of human-induced climate change on the event could be formally qualified. Scientists determined that,“human influence at least doubled the risk” of this event.

As global surface temperatures have increased, heatwaves are becoming more frequent. Coumou, Robinson, and Rahmstorf 2013 found that record-breaking monthly temperature records are already occurring five times more often than they would in the absence of human-caused global warming. This means that there is an 80% chance that any monthly heat record today is due to human-caused global warming.

Are the heatwaves caused by climate change?
In France, 14,802 heat-related deaths (mostly among the elderly) occurred during the heat wave, according to the French National Institute of Health

STARVATION

World hunger has risen for three straight years, and climate change is a cause


Climate change will make rice less nutritious, putting millions of the world's poor at risk

Climate change is bad news for several of our staple crops. For example, a 2012 paper found that higher temperatures are detrimental to French corn yields. While French corn production has increased steadily in recent decades due to a combination of technological improvements and CO2 fertilization (the former far more than the latter), yields have leveled off in recent years, and were particularly low when struck by heat waves.


Someone please tell the farmers of the world more C02 is "good for us" while they have their harvest hit by droughts or flooded by billions of tons of water because of AGW. And maybe those same people can send “thoughs and prayers” while we wait for the humanitarian and atheist help organizations to arrive with actual help?

Farmers needs stability and predictability, not a rapidly warming and changing world.

Rising carbon levels threaten diets of hundreds of millions of poor

Rising carbon emissions could make vital food crops from wheat to rice less nutritious and endanger the health of hundreds of millions of the world's poorest

Certain staple crops grown in open fields with elevated carbon dioxide levels had up to 17 percent lower levels of protein, iron and zinc compared to those grown amid less of the gas, according to a study in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Another study published in Nature Climate Change last week concluded that higher temperatures will cause wheat production to decline. Just a 1°C rise in global temperature will decrease wheat yields by about 5% (approximately 35 million tons).
