Global Warming Benefits To Canada?

geologist said:
Global warming is a fact.

The cause of this global warning is still under debate.

The earth over geological time has undergone great changes in average global temperatures.

Agreed. The jury is still out. Something is happening, but where is it heading?

With all the chicken little's running around screaming at the top of their lungs, nobody seems to be asking: "Who will benefit"?

When are we due for another ice age? Wouldn't that be much worse (especially for Canadians) than global warming? Read about how thick the ice sheets were 12,000 years ago and how far south they advanced. How would we counter a naturally occurring ice age? Hmmm...greenhouse gases anyone? Will the current warming forstall, or maybe even trigger an ice age? We need to find out.

Seems to me that warming will open up a great deal more of Canada to settlement and farming. That could be a good thing?

The only constant over geological time is change. Climate has always changed, long before we had SUV's. Let's keep investigating and try and keep the Global Warming fanatics from turning this into another ideology in which they will (do??) ignore the scientific research results they don't like.

Food for thought.
 
Our sea-ice in the bay left about a month earlier this year than previous ... not sure if that's a global warming thing or not ... as our winter this year was very very mild compared to previous years ... mind you it seems to change as the previous year it was wicked cold thru-out the season and our sea-ice stayed in the bay longer ... as for polar bears being affected ... I'm sure they are ... if there is no sea-ice to travel on, they either have to swim or walk onland ... 3 sitings near town here in the past 2 weeks onland ... eating whatever they can get their paws on as there is no sea-ice and seals to get ... as for global warming ... I really don't know but daaaaamn it's hot today ... as it's 10 above ... ;) :p :D

Otokiak ... :cool:

Ummm - guys, this is perhaps one of the most successful thread hijacks in our history :) but ... back to the original point, does anyone know anything concrete about the frakkin' bears?
 
I was thinking the same thing!!! lol,, but, damn, that was some interesting reading,, quite informative,, thanks,, my wife says my brain's getting fried being on this thing every night, but she's wrong again
 
The arctic is in fact undergoing the most rapid warming of any area on earth at present. The implications of this are obvious, thinner sea ice, and warmer summer temperatures invariably lead to an earlier break-up and later onset of freezing. Generally speaking, I do not believe this has yet begun to heavily affect the Polar bear populations (but I am not a biologist, so on this matter I am no expert). Eventually though, the bears will be affected. The thing is no one is exactly sure how. There will likely be a migration northward of populations, and areas that were once on the southern end of their range will probably no longer see them. Will they become extinct? Probably not, and most CERTAINLY NOT in the kind of timeframes and scales propagandist so called "non-profit" organizations like the WWF would have you believe.
 
I call bulls**t.

The earth has been heating up for hundreds of years, since the last ice age. (which, technically we are still in).

The 'human' part of global warming is so exponeitially small, that it doesnt even matter.

So, yes, the earth is warming.

Yet its natural.

I totally agree with this statement :D
As for the Bears , would be nice to introduce a food source , the land is getting pretty dry up there, wonder if gophers would survive :D
 
Mona Loa

Ardent is mistaken - the Mona Loa data show a very linear increase in CO2 levels during the past 150 years. Unfortunately, the Mona Loa does not account for about 90 percent of the calculated total cabon load emitted.

Ardent, you need a better grasp of the numbers - rhetoric alone will not be enough, unless of course you are a liberal.....
