I live in the middle of the Brazilian Cerrado(tropical savanna), where global warming isn't means to political power(except that Brazil stands to gain alot from a greener economy
), nevertheless, I'm yet to meet someone who isn't complaining about the heat, who eventually muses about the good old day with 3 good months(almost non existent now) of rain and hot days that were actually tolerable.
I remember listening to a The Teaching Company(or something like it) lecture on Global warming, which opened my mind to the complexity of Climate, things like how polar caps and desert reflect heat back to space, how plants grow faster with increased level of CO2, how a atmosphere with twice more oxygen gave rise to super plant and super animals(dinosaurs), how different gases affect the greenhouse effect, how hydroelectric plants contributes to the greenhouse effect as much as a thermoelectric plant of the same size would(by indirectly producing methane, putrefying matter, with are 20 times more harmful than the CO2 of the thermoelectric plant), how earth would be too cold for life as we know without the Greenhouse Effect, , how water(rivers, lakes, ocean) absorb Co2 from the water, and releases Co2 when there's less Co2 in the atmosphere. So suppose a certain area in the world is at this moment suffering from desertification(as many are), that would actually decrease the world's net heat by reflecting the sun light over that area back to space. The difference between a desert and a tropical rain forest are mere circumstances with give rise to self sustainable rain forest or a self sustainable desert for that matter. Suppose the polar caps sufficiently increased in size, an ice age would be eminent, the ever increasing polar cap would reflect ever more sun light back to space, decreasing the world's temperature.
Well, eventually people will turn to logic, when their AC's break down for example, that's always a comfort to my battered ideological heart.
