Have you been in Death Valley in the summer, without air conditioning?

I have, 1937. 0Unforgetable

Never again

Well the name Death Valley is probably a giveaway that the conditions
will be unpleasant, if not life threatening. I suspect portions of
Siberia and Northern Canada may be equally unpleasant and life
threatening in the winter.

Funny.... I use Firefox on my ASUS Eee PC netbook computer, and don't
get those "Redirct Notices

I use Internet Explorer on my desktop... and get them from certain
links in this group.

If you have an explanation for the differences.... thanks

I lived in a cave near Death Valley for 30 months. Maybe I'll go
back some day.

Routinely 115f in the shade. Weee!

Never again

0 Are you seriously trying to suggest that frost damage is a threat to
the rice crop in countries like India or Bangladesh or Indonesia?
0 Or that agriculture in a country like Pakistan with temperatures
around 500c in summer would benefit from higher temperatures?

The warming periods tend to be far more pronounced at the poles and
temperate regions, so I doubt there would be much of a noticeable
impact in tropical areas. Anyway, there are plenty of crops that can
grow in heat, provided they have water. Do you have data that
indicates that warmer periods have been detrimental to civilizations
anywhere? If so, here is an opportunity to share it. Otherwise you
might need to admit that the lengthening of growing seasons in vast
parts of Europe, North America and Asia is most likely a good thing
for humanity overall. Grain from temperate regions is used as food
worldwide.
