I honesty always scratch my head about Canada and climate change.  30 million people, about the population of Texas, in a country that is either #1 or #2 in area, that would greatly benefit (IMO) from a little warmer weather.

I'd pray for global warming if I lived in the Arctic Circle.

If we stipulate some kind of anthrogenic climate change is real, I don't think "we" really know what will happen.  I see more predictions about the Atlantic current stopping which would freeze Europe, if it happened.  I thought this idea had been disavowed some years back, but it's back.

Basically, every severe weather event now is blamed on CC, even blizzards.

Perhaps? However as I point out, the effects of climate change on weather isn't really something I worry about. It's if a destabilized climate causes economic and social problems that worries me much more.  

As I've mentioned in this thread many times, right now we have a world population of a little over 8B people. Right now, we have the agricultural technology to feed all of them--albeit our social structures don't always ensure that happens. 

The concern that I have is that climate change destabilizes farming. What if we only have the ability to feed 5B? Do we just tell 3B people "sorry, tough luck!"?? Do their own leaders tell them that?? Or do they scapegoat and blame other countries and send their armies across borders?

So I certainly agree that Canade could see a lot of benefits from climate change, as it relates to increasing the winter temperatures up there. But it doesn't help them much if the world falls into global warfare over scarce resources, when tin-pot dictators can't feed their people but bullets are plentiful...

Or the Soylent Green. 

And let me tell you, as someone who is quite well marbled (I assume, given my penchant for beer), I don't want to have to fight my way through not being dinner :57:
