Will global warming increase longevity

Currently in the world there are 5 areas labeled "Blue  Zones".

The first is Icaria (Greece). Icaria is an island located in Greece where people have a diet rich in olive oil, red wine and home-grown fruits and vegetables.

The second is Sardinia (Italy): Ogliastra is a province in the east of Sardinia - an Italian island, this is the home of some of the world's longest-living men. Because Ogliastra is the most mountainous province in Sardinia, people here often work on farms and gardens and love to drink red wine.

Third is Okinawa (Japan): Home to the world's longest-living women, who use a lot of soy foods in their meals and regularly practice Tai Chi.

Fourth is the Nicoya Peninsula (Costa Rica). The Nicoya diet often includes beans and a type of corn tortilla. People in this area also regularly perform physically demanding jobs even in old age and have a concept of life called "plan de vida" (Often roughly translated as "Why do I stay awake?"). woke up this morning?” to reflect on your existence and create the will for a life to be enjoyed to the fullest, lived to the fullest).

Fifth is the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Loma Linda, California (USA). The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a group of very religious people who are strict vegetarians and live in tight-knit communities.

What strikes one about this is that the climates are all moderate to warm and these are places where medical help is  probably less sophisticated than one would expect. But they are also places where people are active. The contrast is Northern Europe and the US where winter activity becomes harder.

So it’s hard to believe the huge NH cold zone population won’t benefit from some warming. But there are fringe Warming models out there suggesting up to 2 years of life expectancy are lost in warmer climates. It’s incredibly complex to model and most of the researchers are climate groupies

The green zones suggest there will be some benefit from projected warming. It would be refreshing to see an honest attempt to look at the benefits of a moderately warmer planet…..I suspect they will be massive.

Global warming is not a threat to the lifespan of you or any other self-important capitalist pollutants like you . . . it's all about the lifespan of your great grandchildren and their descendants . . . although I suspect you don't really give a toss about the ruined planet they will have to live on.

1 666 scientists world wide studied the issue og gobal warming  and scam eve in the hsitory of makind.   If you believe the BS live with it.    If you cannot see the objective iro of the scam - you will find that Goernment uses it to get cmtro; over people in a way it ahs not bens een since the fall of Hitler in 10restrict freedom of people.   It is a scam because it opens the dor fr corrution on a major scale no seens ince the fall of Hitler, S talin and Mao.    .   

Your greatchodren will have other prolwems in cooling  of clim ates and then you ahave reason why you should not even consider the present BS.      

And there you have the Shitorical perspective of why global warming is good for mank ind.

Christ Mike just take a break from posting...go out and get some air.

Well you keep telling me I’m ancient so your grandchildren should be equivalent to my future great grandchildren, that you  referenced. Catch a wake up. As for making the choices, it turns out the expats you always insult had the  insight and guts. The guts to accept the huge initial drop in their living standards and the absence  from things they loved,  to make a move that paid off for their families. 

Maybe you should lecture your own children on having some guts, Moffie . . . because you have inadvertently admitted that you raised children who are so helpless and use less that they can't make decisons for their own children by themselves without your input.

I don't have that problem. My children are quite capable of making decisions for themselves and they're all doing an excellent job of raising their own children without any help from me. Sorry you can't say the same.

Er  (sic)nec my one kid wasn’t alive yet when I emigrated….the other was 18 months  old. They were hardly in a position to ‘decide for themselves’. But I congratulate your children on stepping into the decision making void you produced. I guess if you are of no help, one has to make a virtue of passing the baton.
