The average temperature has risen, but, rather than seeing different ranges throughout the day, this has largely manifested as milder nighttime temperatures on account of higher humidity. This will likely be a boon to farmers and agricultural exports, as supply chains have made access to fertilizer difficult, and the soils of the midwest require relatively little compared to most other regions (nationally, and, especially, internationally).

I don't know why you and other conservatives choose to forget the horrific storms that have wiped out whole sections of midwest states such as Iowa and Nebraska. And it just voted for more.

I'm not forgetting anything. On balance, it's still been a positive. Your question is easy to answer though: we're voting against toxic woke policies, more lockdowns, rent controls and other policies that have turned the coasts into disaster zones.

In all honestly, I would love to see a freshly right wing environmentalist movement. "You've had decades to try to do something about this and all your policies sucked. It's our turn now...".

You are forgetting a lot because you put your prejudices (calling those who don't hold them "woke") ahead of policies that actually help the people avoid disasters. Or you believe neoliberal trickle-down economics that says the government should not restrain greedy owners with rent controls, or believe conspiracy theories or slogans that deny that health measures needed to be imposed collectively and not just individually in order to stop the spread of an extremely dangerous, contagious disease. No right winger could possibly enable an environmentalist movement. Neoliberalism precludes any collective action and puts all responsibility on each one of 7 billion individuals to make a decision to go against what is convenient to buy.

And you call the coasts, and not your own southern swamplands, "disaster zones", even though those Dixie swamp lands are the least developed and most prejudiced, poor, backward, deceived region in the entire developed world, and more backward even than many regions of the less-developed world. And people there vote for this. It costs more money to live in the coastal blue states because it is the most desirable and lucrative place to be in the USA, so housing prices rise and homelessness has to be dealt with. These areas are desirable largely because we vote correctly, and your area does not.
