Yes, that report does offer some hope. But I don't have faith that humans will achieve what they hope for. I would be happy to be proved wrong.

The climate is already very variable when you look at summer and winter. Animals and plants have evolved to cope with this variability.
September 16, 2023 at 15:40
Humans can move the plants that they want to move. This solves the problem for plants that can't move themselves. All of our food crops etc will be ea...

Are there any benefits from global-warming/climate-change? If there are, then what are they?
September 16, 2023 at 13:03
Humans and bananas share 50 to 60 percent of the same DNA. So there is a 40 to 50 percent genetic difference between humans and bananas. :nerd:

September 10, 2023 at 01:47
Are you saying that you are the ultimate authority on what is good or bad. Were you born with this godlike ability or did you acquire it later?
September 10, 2023 at 00:23
But good and bad are subjective. What you see as a good action I may see as a bad action. This makes the topic of this discussion even more difficult ...
