Considering that people live anywhere from the middle of the Sahara in the summer AND in Antarctica in the winter, apparently we CAN.
So is a wont problem then...We cant even properly manage pandemics anymore but we are going to manage the planets weather rather than be ready to deal with what the weather throws at us.
We have regressed this far.
We are so fucked.

Every trumper is a N4T.
So kill yourself now and be done with it, ass whore.
Why? I'm not arguing there is too much population. YOU are. LIF.

You bummed that climate change-denial looks more & more ridiculous as time goes on?

Yes, how dare I put some facts on the table. Far better to be an emotional bedwetter like you. You've have gone totally apeshit if you lived in the US in 1936.
The U.S. is sweltering. The heat wave of 1936 was far deadlier
Abandoned vehicles sinking into scorching-hot orange silt. Fields of dying crops. Ghost towns cowering under black clouds of dust.
The killer U.S. heat wave of 1936 spread as far north as Canada, led to the heat-related deaths of an estimated 5,000 people, sent thermometers to a record 121 degrees Fahrenheit in Steele, N.D., and made that July the warmest month ever recorded in the United States.
But in much of the central United States, summer 1936 was even hotter. At their peak, temperatures in North Dakota were warmer than midsummer Death Valley, and hot enough to cook rare steak in the street.
Few residents struggling in those temperatures would have been able to afford such a meal: The heat wave struck during the Great Depression, six years into a sustained period of crop failure and economic hardship.
The North American heat wave of 1936 followed one of the coldest recorded winters in the same area.
In North Dakota, February temperatures at Devil’s Lake plunged to minus-21 degrees. Channel ice in the Illinois River at Peoria grew 19 inches thick. The Chesapeake Bay froze entirely, something that has happened only seven times since 1780. Schools closed in the Pacific Northwest, the Great Plains and the Midwest, with rural schools in Cottonwood County, Minn., losing almost a month of class time.
Although greenhouse gases have warmed the world’s oceans since the 1830s and global warming concerns were being raised as early as 1896, the pronounced swing in temperatures in 1936 isn’t generally considered to be part of human-driven climate change.
At the time, 1936 had such a frozen start that the idea of a heat wave would have seemed like wishful thinking.
Livestock were freezing to death, and pedestrians were regularly experiencing hypothermia and frostbite. Snowdrifts in Pierson, Iowa, swallowed whole locomotives, interrupting deliveries and depleting food stocks.
The blizzards contrasted with the Dust Bowl imagery of the ’30s. As described in John Steinbeck’s 1939 novel “The Grapes of Wrath,” the era saw arid topsoil blown into clouds that scoured the land, blighting everything in their path. And while the extraordinary winter of 1935-36 was certainly a hardship, it would feel like a reprieve as spring gave way to summer.
As documented in “The 1936 North American Heat Wave: The History of America’s Deadly Heat Wave during the Dust Bowl and Great Depression,” temperatures began to climb rapidly in March, with rainfall becoming scarce. Occasional storms would give farmers hope that the early high temperatures would break. Instead, they kept ascending.
By June, a drought was consuming the Northeast, causing a feedback loop where the hot, dry ground further heated the air. Soon, the West and the South were experiencing the same conditions.

Actually I'm very surprised that WaPo published this article. They are usually at the forefront of climate alarmism, so it's good to see that they still have a small vestige of journalistic integrity left.
It didn't.
Climate cannot change. It is ridiculous to claim it does. LIF.
There is no such thing as a 'greenhouse gas'. No gas or vapor has the capability to warm the Earth. You cannot create energy out of nothing.

Not my fault that you can't understand simple concepts like CO2 absorbing LRIR at 15 μm and re-radiating it .
Fourier knew about this in 1827. If you could answer without bullshitting about thermodynamics for the millionth time that would be good.
In 1827, Joseph Fourier, a French mathematician and physicist, wondered why Earth's average temperature is approximately 15°C (59°F). He reasoned that there must be some type of balance between the incoming energy and the outgoing energy to maintain this fairly constant temperature. His calculations indicated that Earth should actually be much colder (-18°C or 0°F).
To have an average temperature of 15°C (59°F), Fourier knew that there had to be another process occurring in the atmosphere –– something similar to the way a greenhouse retains heat. A greenhouse's glass enclosure allows visible light to enter and be absorbed by the plants and soil. The plants and soil then emit the absorbed heat energy as infrared radiation. The glass of the greenhouse then absorbs that infrared radiation, emitting some of it back into the greenhouse and thus keeping the greenhouse warm even when the temperature outside is lower.
Because the two processes are similar, the name “greenhouse effect” was coined to describe Fourier's explanation. However, part of a greenhouse's warmth results from the physical barrier of the glass, which prevents the warmer air from flowing outward. So despite the fact that the atmospheric greenhouse effect has some processes in common with an actual greenhouse, the overall mechanisms driving the greenhouse effect are different and more complex.

It can't. Once a photon is absorbed, it is DESTROYED. It is NOT re-radiated.
Poor Fourier. You are going to misquote him AGAIN.
You can't discard the laws of thermodynamics, dude.
It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth.
The temperature of Earth is unknown.
No. No gas or vapor has the capability to create energy out of nothing. You are ignoring the 1st law of thermodynamics again.
The temperature of Earth is unknown.
It is not possible to trap heat.
No. You cannot reduce entropy...ever. See the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
There is no '2nd process'.
No. You cannot create energy out of nothing. You cannot reduce entropy. You are AGAIN ignoring the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics. You are also attempting to trap light. That is ignoring the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
* You cannot trap heat.
* You cannot trap light.
* You cannot trap thermal energy. There is always heat.
* You cannot create energy out of nothing.
* You cannot reduce entropy.
Which reduces heat.
There is no glass around the Earth. You cannot trap light. You cannot trap heat. You cannot trap thermal energy. You cannot reduce entropy for any reason. You cannot ignore the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
No.
You cannot ignore the 1st law of thermodynamics: E(t+1) = E(t) - U where 'E' is energy, 't' is time, and 'U' is work. You cannot create energy out of nothing. If no work is being put into increasing energy IT CAN'T INCREASE.
You cannot ignore the 2nd law of thermodynamics: e(t+1) >= e(t) where 'e' is entropy and 't' is time. You cannot reduce entropy ever. You cannot set aside this law for even a moment. There is no sequence. YOU CAN'T TRAP HEAT and you CANNOT TRAP THERMAL ENERGY.
You cannot ignore the Stefan-Boltzmann law: r = C*e*t^4 where 'r' is radiance per square area, 'C' is a natural constant, 'e' is a measured constant known as emissivity, or how well a surface radiates light, and 't' is temperature in deg K. IF TEMPERATURE INCREASES, RADIANCE GOES UP. NOT DOWN. Conversion of thermal energy to light cools the surface.
You are also ignoring Planck's laws. Not all photons are the same. You are treating them as if they are all the same, and as if they are indestructable.
No gas or vapor is capable of setting aside any of these laws. There is no magick gas.
You cannot trap light. You cannot trap thermal energy. You cannot trap heat. YOU CANNOT DO IT. There is no magick gas.
