Global Warming Could Cost Canada Billions? - Minnesotans For Global Warming
Here are a few questions I have about this report

Wouldn't warmer weather expand Canada's now very short growing season?
Most Canadians live in southern Canada, wouldn't it getting warmer allow people to live in more of their own country?
Wouldn't it cause crops and trees to be grown further north into areas which are now under permafrost?
Couldn't you grow different crops like corn and soybeans which don't do well in Canada now?
Isn't most of Canada's coastal areas under ice most of the year?
Wouldn't warmer weather allow Canada to build ports where they can't now like in Hudson Bay?
If Canada becomes warmer wouldn't this create more tourism?
I'm not sure what health concerns they're talking about but wouldn't you have less people freezing to death in the winter?
Was this study paid for by Big Wind?

I seem to remember something from primary school about CO2 being an important part of the photosynthesis process. Something about carbon …..

Floating icebergs that have broken free as a result pose a risk to offshore oil facilities and potentially to shipping lanes.

These floating ice masses are typically 131 feet (40 meters) thick (equivalent to a 10-story building), but can be as much as 328 feet (100 meters) thick.
