    Why doesn’t everyone pack it up and move back to the savannahs of Africa? It seems like the only fair way to resolve all the issues that have stemmed from questionable practices during past migrations.

      Give climate change a few more decades and they might have to

                That would lower the temperature by about 5 degrees Celsius compared to sea level, which doesn’t help enough with African temperatures.

                  Sounds great if you’re worried about a global 4⁰ temperature increase

                  Low? That’s within a few dozen meters of the US average.

                  Of course, Nairobi - Kenya’s largest city - is 1,795 m. About 200 m higher than Denver. But that’s averages for you.

                    In that case, comparing it to the US, we would expect their relative temperature to be the same as if they weren’t on a plateau. You’re accounting for Africa’s temp difference due to height but not doing the same for other places.
