are there any avantages in the climate change?

Question

at least any good consecuence of global warmming?

Answer 1

putin is not really concerned about siberia

Answer 2

There are upsides to Global Change!
1) With a global temperature increase of 2-4 degrees, vast areas of the northern US, Southern Canada, northern UK and central Russia will be available for farming. This is pristine land that has never been farmed before and will more than replace the marginalized farmlands that will eventually turn into desert.

2) Many coastal countries will experience increased rainfall in areas that were deserts including India. Future planning will capture the current floods and irrigate millions of acres for farming.

3) As the polar ice caps melt away, the Northwest Passage will become a reality saving trillions of gallons of fuel in the shipping industry. Vast unreachable oil fields will become accessible in the Arctic Circle-maybe as much as 50% of the total world's oil is waiting there but currently unreachable.

4) More CO2 in the atmosphere helps more plants grow both in nature and in farmlands. Raising the CO2 in a greenhouse by only 1% can increase yields by 25-50%

5) Winter energy needs will decrease as the temperatures in many areas rise above current levels. Air conditioning costs may rise but many big businesses are capturing this excess heat and converting it to usable energy.

6) We will have more days at the beach and the beach will be much closer!

Answer 3

yes there are many. Several parts of the world will get a huge boost in agriculture. Check out the maps of the USA. We will get a significant increase in crop yields. The gloom and doom of this global warming issue is basically people wanting to ascribe to the notion that world is ending. How about having a route for trade over the North pole? A thawed polar cap has huge benefits. Remember history looking for a path across the northern USA?

Answer 4

Yes there are, several beneficial effects have already been observed.

For example, in Siberia one million square kilometres of permafrost has melted giving rise to much new agricultural land.

Melting ice and glaciers has created new lakes which can be used for irrigation and fishing

In some countries that had a moderate climate it's now possible to grow two crops per year, notably maize. In hot African countries there has always been an eary-maize and late-maize crop, there are now areas where it's possible to do the same that until recently could only yield a single crop each year.

The number of cold related deaths has fallen, so too has the number of people suffering from cold related conditions.

A warmer climate is beneficial to many species of animals in a variety of ways (shorter hibernation, more food, shorter migrations, better breeding conditions etc).

It should be noted that for each benefit there's a directly opposing and more pronounced drawback.

Answer 5

Not really. There's a myth out there--promoted by Bush, the oil companises, etc. that global warming will simply mean some regions currently too cold for living/agriculture will somehow "blossom." That won't happen. Here's why: the only such regions of any extent are in the far north--or antartica. But neither Greenland, or Antartica, are going to entirely lose their icecaps (that would take centuries, if ever) and the other areas simply aren't all that extensive.

What conseuences can we expect? Basically there are three--and all promise to create major problems:
>coastal flooding. Because we are talking about a global change, ALL coastal cities, as well as low lying areas that are some of the worlds best agricultural land, may have to be abandoned--or protected (at a total cost in the Trillions) by dikes and levees.
>climate chages we can expect arre likely to disrupt rainfall patterns, creating, among other things, permanent "Dust Bowls" (check out the history of the Dust Bowl in the US in th e1930s).
>ecological disruption that will not only cause many species to go extinct or decline in numbers, but also negatively impact the production of food and other agricultural products.

Answer 6

Yes, cold places will become warmer and more suitable for agriculture. There are probably other benefits, but the totality will not come close to outweighing the totality of problems from global warming.

Answer 7

If you're a re-enactor, you'll be able to melt lead for your muzzle loader right there in your living room without needing even a match!

You'll no longer have to worry about the sun getting in your eyes when you're teeing off!

You'll be able to walk from New York to London, saving a bundle on air fare!

Answer 8

This website, www.co2science.org , goes to great lengths to show that virtually all of the consequences of increasing CO2 are beneficial. The site is run by the Idso family, who are unquestionably anthropogenic global warming deniers, but, maybe, at least some of what they say is right.

Answer 9

The planet will purge itself of the human race.

Answer 10

Water shortages will ruin the farming in the South and the middle-west, thus forcing these people to become urban ???

Answer 11

The eventual disappearance of Florida.
