Global Climate Change is the status quo. Weather patterns have, and will to continue to vary, arguably with the “help” of human activity. Human activity is not so much the “cause” of these, but the species that proclaims its misfortune on natural events. We KNOWINGLY build cities on 50- and 100- year flood plains. We KNOWINGLY build cities on coastal area susceptable to tropical weather and hurricanes. We KNOWINGLY build cities in acrtic areas. normally inhabitable by distinct(going extinct,) animal species. We KNOWINGLY build cities in historically drought-prone areas that cannot possibly support the water demands of its inhabitants. We KNOWINGLY build cities on active tectonic areas, hoping we’ll get by the big one. We KNOWINGLY build these cities; mega-cities, in concentrations that these natural events will cause maximum loss of life and property damage. We KNOWINGLY choose to live in geographic area that will require air conditioning, or artificial heat year-round to make it comfortable for our fragile being to be “comfortable.”
Where on this Earth is the ideal climate, where humans could live and work without artificial climate adaptations? So easy, a cave man can do it. Nothing easy about that. Ambient temperature in caves is around 55°F. As is spring water on the chilly side, for anything but drinking.
Pre-humans evolved in the south-central rift-valley area of African continent. At least, that’s where we find continuity. What was the climate like then, and there? If we look at where indiginous peoples live today, that’s probably the closest to ideal climate, on the warm side, drier, inland, open-range to rain-forest settings. Abundant wildlife, close to nature’s daily, and yearly timetable.
It’s too bad we outgrew this.
