to this day humans live in very hot places much more easily than in very cold places

Interestingly I had no idea 8c is the maximum the earth can increase (from current temp) and that so far 45% of the poll voters believe there will always be human habitat available regardless of any possible global warming.
Personally as an archivist of many lost cultural artifacts of the world, I'd be very happy to see McPherson and Cid be wrong.

Do you think that fundamentally 45 percent of us are optimistic and 55 percent are doomers, or do you think you discovered some other effect?

Somehow it comes across as if they think it's all OK, everything is fine, so long as there is a viable breeding population left.
I wonder what that says about our thinking. The good part of that is that these folks seem to imply severe reductions in our population are acceptable.
