global warming is making your hayfever worse

That must mean a month longer for growing food, if this is true.

Good, more food for the increasing number of people in the world.

I've wondered about this from the time I first heard about a warming climate.

My first thought was that a warmer climate would benefit far more people than it would hurt, because it would mean more places that can grow food (and better food and for a longer period) and less resource devoted to heating. In particular, our heating process pollutes, so less heating would seem to naturally result in less pollution.

I am still puzzled by the mindset that assumes that global warming is a bad thing, and that we should do everything possible to avoid it. I would expect that we would instead start looking at ways to best take advantage of a warming climate. Won't there be a tremendous amount of land that will be more attractive as a human habitat? I've always heard that the warm climate here in California is one of the enduring benefits of being here.

Am I alone?

Global warming may not be too bad if you live in the right place. Most of the world is not so lucky. Global warming is responsible for increasing drought and forest fires in the western USA, flooding in the midwest and eastern USA, and more and bigger hurricanes in the south. Other parts of the world are seeing similar weather changes.

To GW..no you aren't alone. It shows you have a brain that can think.

Rational people who know history know that our last biggest warming cycle was just before the..dark ages and mini-ice age..when people prospered and places like Greenland was green and farmable.

Our earth cycles warmer and colder, about every 30 years. It also cycles into ice ages ( the last big scare during the last cold spell time in the 70s, you might recall) and out of them into warm ages.

It depends almost entirely on our position to the sun and the cycle of activity of the sun, and its effect on the biggest greenhouse gas, water vapor.. ( big shock). It does not depend on the level of C02 in the atmosphere, which is roughly equivalent to 4 people in a stadium of 10,000 people, for perspective, and which humans contribute perhaps..well, I haven't done the math in that context, but perhaps one finger on one of those people's hands.

Expect that within the next 10 years we will see the return of pictures of the Stature of Liberty in ice up to her torch, as we continue in our cooling cycle. ( yawn..and then, of course, it will still be man's fault, someone will want money and power from us to "save us", nothing ever changes).
