Question by Robert H: What are the possitive aspects of Global climate changes?
Well in the 70 we went through a mini ice age or so it was dubbed. Now we are having a warming trend or so they say. The media and even the “inventer of the internet” are scaring the hell out of every one for selfish reasons. Dooms day is lurking, devestation is looming! The question is what if it it a good thing? What would be the possitive aspects of so called Global Warming”?

Answer by Bob
Some colder areas will see improvements in agriculture. Some areas may get less or more precipitation and be better off. For example the maple syrup industry seems to be moving from Vermont into Canada.
But more areas will see temperature and precipitation changes that are harmful. Vermont maple syrup farmers are not happy.
And the big thing is that coastal flooding and damage to agriculture will cost a huge amount of money for most countries to deal with. Enough to likely drive the world into an economic Depression.
So nobody really wins. Details here:

It’s clearly better to reduce the problem. (we can’t totally stop it, it’s already gone too far.)
