Let's look at three groups of people:
Eskimos in Alaska and Canada
Bedouins in the Desert
Tibetans living from 8000 feet to 15,000 feet in altitude
What do all these groups have in common?
They have found ways to live in difficult ecological situations.
Because of these three groups (and many others worldwide like this) I feel there will always be some groups of people who find ways to survive here on earth even if they have to live underground or in igloos to do it.
So, even when temperatures around the equator are 130 degrees or more regularly during the day I think there are some groups that will just live underground where it's cooler during the day and come up at night when it cools down some to live.
Though this might seem like a strange story it is a true story too. I moved with my family to Hana Maui in 1989 in the fall and one day I took our window van and wanted to go to Wailuku to buy food by driving "The Road to Hana towards Kahului and Wailuku."
However, the locals said to me: "What are you doing? It's going to rain you don't want to drive there today."
But, I didn't understand what they were saying. So, instead we drove the Road to Hana back towards Wailuku and Kahului where the airport is.
But, on the way back it rained like they said it would and we all almost died by being washed off the road off a cliff into the ocean where the ocean had 25 foot waves or greater.
So, I learned about what happens in a rainforest when it rains. Basically, you might not survive it on the road to Hana.
So, what am I saying here? "What I'm saying is that if you know what the weather is going to do and what that means wherever you live on earth, you just might survive that weather as long as someone knows what to do to survive it."
