Attaboy, tivo. Ever the compassionate citizen... until the refugees start invading your little corner of Eden.
Refugees from where? Are they going to swim the Atlantic? Good luck with that.

Quote:
Well, the migration of disease will affect you,
I don't know of any disease that suddenly "migrates" to my climate if my climate becomes a degree warmer. Are there any diseases in, say, North Carolina, that aren't where I live?

Quote:
dramatic changes in agriculture will affect you,
Yes, they will. The area where I live would have a longer growing season and benefit greatly. Hang on while I go idle my car in my driveway.

Quote:
drought and increased wildfire may affect you,
I live in one of the most precipitous cities in North America, and we have a fire department. I don't get why a slight increase in temperature is going to magically make things burst into flames.

Quote:
mass emigration from affected countries will affect you
Again, are they swimming the Atlantic? Thinking it will ever get so bad as to cause "mass emigration" is just silly.

Quote:
and, if left completely unchecked, a likely mass-extinction will likely affect you.
Mass extinction? You're being ridiculous. Considering human beings currently thrive in a climate that is, on average, 30 degrees warmer than the average temperature where I live, I don't see how raising the average temperature 2 degrees (beyond the most ridiculous global warming estimates) will affect anything.

Again, this is the challenge of the global-warming alarmist - to make their warnings of doom and gloom "play in Peoria" (to borrow a phrase from theater).


Don't forget... Lawyers were writing the Constitution while doctors were still bleeding people with leeches...
