No temperature changes as you climb towards the poles or in elevation. Basically the entire Earth is uniform and has tropical climate. Higher CO2 in the atmosphere gives the Earth a greenhouse effect similar to Venus where the temperature is uniform all around (though in Earth's case, that would be humid with constant 85 F weather instead of 900 F weather on Venus)
I would kill myself....I would try to dive from the Sears Tower in Chicago onto Lake Michigan.
Come on now! There are indoor ski resorts in places like Dubai. I'm sure most of us would adapt! I do wonder how dead this forum would be though. Meteorologists would be a select few who studied the upper atmosphere and weathermen wouldn't exist. I think it would be rather interesting...

It would just be extremely boring from a weather enthusiast point of view.
Conversely, what would happen to the ambient temperature IF the surface area was expanded?
Assuming that humanity "thickens" the life bearing volume by building UP and DOWN and THROUGH mountains, etc, etc.

Why shouldn't it?
What happens now when the same unit of insolation hits the polar regions (more surface area) versus the equator (less surface area)?
