Will humans ever evolve to cope with the rising temperature of our planet?
A change in temperature of 1 degree, or even 4 degrees, is less than the variation in temperature that is seen between different areas that are inhabited by humans and less than the variation which is seen annually in those areas. Accordingly it seems that humans are already adapted to these differences in temperature and that our response to the temperature changes are more likely to involve habituation and cultural changes in behaviour and technology use than evolutionary change.
