All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

I think I am becoming Pro Global Warming!

The other night I heard a talk show host talking about the up side of global warming so I thought I would do some research for myself. Seems he could be right. The positives seem to outweigh the negatives.

Have you noticed how the northern states are losing population because people are moving south for the warmer weather? Global warming is increasing global average temperature meaning it will get warmer in the northern states.

Then all those Yankees will go home and stop crowding our space.

They say that rising sea levels will eventually flood N.Y.C.

Don’t see the down side of that.

There will be large reductions in the Greenland and West Antarctic Ice Sheets.

More farm land to feed the world and land for realtors to sell.

I’ve read that Butterflies have shifted their ranges northward by 200 km in Europe and North America.

Now we all can see those exotic butterflies.

If its true that in the Arctic, the waters of Hudson Bay are ice-free for three weeks longer than they were thirty years ago.

That’s got to be a good thing. More shipping channels, shorter shipping time, lower cost.

They tell me, in general, but especially in rain forests trees are stimulated in growth.

More lumber for industry and the carbon monoxide will help the atmosphere.

Since 1980, glacier retreat has become increasingly rapid and ubiquitous, so much so that it has threatened the existence of many of the glaciers of the world.

So what are glaciers good for? Once again more land for the over populated planet.

When it comes to mortality they say higher temperatures in winter reduce deaths from cold resulting in a reduction in annual average mortality of 7000.

People live longer. We use less fossil fuel. Less pollution.

A reduction in runoff will affect the ability to irrigate crops and will reduce summer stream flows necessary to keep dams and reservoirs replenished.

How can melting ice reduce stream flow? Seems to me there would be more flow to irrigate crops not less.
