That claim is counter to my understanding of warming, which is that hot places are generally not increasing much in temperature, but cool places are, and that the coolest seasons are warming more than the warmest ones.
The video didn't explain why global warming would impact the tropics more than the poles, only explained that weather patterns are due to the Coriolis Effect.
Here's my favorite video on the Coriolis Effect
Obviously, predicting the future is impossible, and for that reason, I remain open to a range of possible outcomes for humanity. The thing I'm closed-minded about is anyone saying you've got to toss them your bag of liberty first, before they rescue you.
This Raiders scene came to mind as I picture sleazy politicians telling us we've got no time to consider if it's wise to surrender liberty.
