@Vegan Shark, Canadians own a lot of high latitude land. On an ever-warming planet high latitude land is where survival will remain possible when agriculture is no longer possible nearer the equator as Peak temperature days above 40C, 104 F destroy enzymes necessary for photosynthesis. Google theses, or better yet read The Limits to Grow And/Or Overshoot by William R. Catton Jr., both available for the price of a cheap meal out.

I've long believed that if the earth does warm up, Russia will become the world's super power. But we who are alive today will be long dead before the mercury rises to destroy agriculture where it currently thrives.

Not so sure Scott, Arizona is already losing arable land to the desert due to drought. When the Great Plains loses the Ogolallah aquifer, it will be the "Great American Desert" it was in the 1800s. That may be in the near future.

Remember the 2015 (enacted 2016) Paris agreement to try to limit global temperature rise from preindustrial levels to 1.5 degrees C by 2050? Well, it was 1.5 C in 2024. The temperature rise and emissions are accelerating: https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

Actually, those kind of temps aren't found so much at the equator, where they tend to hover in the 30-35C range with high humidity. Rather, extreme heat is at higher tropical or subtropical latitudes. Think the Indian subcontinental plains before the monsoon hits, or the US/Mex southwestern deserts, or the Sahara. And even the warmists say that the effects are more prominent at or near the poles. Hence the allegedly melting ice caps.

You are so wrong and probably purposely so. The solar energy imbalance is the excess solar energy that is trapped primarily in the low latitude tropics and can't escape as infrared radiation due to the continuing and accelerating levels of greenhouse gases. This tropical heat is what is driving the increase in extremely weather like hurricanes and cyclones as the Earth tries to equilibrate. That is why the poor in the tropics, the people that had the least to do with rising emissions are suffering most. It seems that we are paying Mexico to hold the Hispanic climate and economic migrants south of the border and those funds will come from new tariff taxes we are imposing. You are welcome.

Peace2051 is a ai bot or an agent trying to justify the fraud of "climate refugees", that is, more invasion and more money to the NGO human traffickers.

It's not really talking about the climate at all; the issue is never the issue with these demons. Plus, its "science" is fake and gay.

Well I don't buy the whole Gorebull Warning scare anyway, so we'll just have to agree to disagree,

Peace, just a comment. Warming is coming from the tropics yes. It is also coming from the rapidly growing heat islands in the northern hemisphere, cities. Look at a nightime shot of the hemispher and the congestion is impressive. Any way, also remember that the movement north of heat from the equator and the heat islands, is being focused at the north pole. What I mean is that the circumference of the earth at the equator shrinks to nothing at the pole and all that heat becomes concentrated as a consequence. Now look at the southern hemisphere, no land masses of any consequence to generate heat. Also, the South Pole and Antarctica have ocean and atmospheric water and air currents around them to protect them from heat from the north. I saw a you tube projection that said that temperature will go up at the equator 1 degree centigrade at the same time as the Arctic will go up 4 degrees Centigrade. Trump and many other PTB are starting to plan for a warm, iceless Arctic, and IMHO they are right.

"Trump (...) are starting to plan for a warm, iceless Arctic, and IMHO they are right."

That'd be a first - Trump PLANNING something with a longer range view than where his next cheeseburger is being delivered.

But Canada is not Trump's, John.
