He addresses the potential deficits of global warming, but what about the positive side of global warming - if it is true think of the millions of acres that would suddenly become productive. I'm sure countries like russia canada northern europe alaska etc would relish to see a little higher temperature.

From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list. Pardon me, but I'm not sure how many leftists want us killed.
I tend to agree. I think the future of "true science" in America has gone from law to hypothesis, something that could only have been done by non-scientist.
What was that Tuvalu website again???
Since Gore has been harping on this topic for so many years, and with the media hype; wouldn't this make for an interesting poll here on FR.
> Yes
> No
> Undecided (too confused to make a decision)
I'm sorry, but this statement in particular is incredibly stupid:
"It's possible that warming may actually add to the thickness of the continental ice sheets by increasing evaporation, which then falls as snow. This seems to be happening to both ice sheets. Is this part of a planetary homeostatic system that keeps things in rough balance? We simply don't know. Perhaps James Lovelock can ask Gaia about it."
If that's true, maybe the frost that formed on the microscope slide that I dipped into liquid nitrogen as the slide was heating up to room temperature was part of a 'homeostatic mechanism.' It couldn't possibly be a fully predictable consequence of the slide heating from very low temperatures to low temperatures to room temperature.
Also, increased evaporation = increased water vapor = increased greenhouse gas.
Hypotheses are are supported, not proven.
Oddly, there is excellent evidence that giant meteors and comments have struck the Earth in the past, and we have actually observed them striking other planets.The risk is infinite, with the possibility of total destruction of civilization quite high in such an event. We have, or could quickly develop, the technology to detect and deflect these threats, at much less cost than anything that would be effective against global warming. Yet we do nothing.
Someone please point out to me why a genuine, if statistically small, risk should receive no attention as compared to a purely theoretical risk.
Al Gore says Global warming is a stone cold fact, it is so bad we are now even making the planet Mars warmer.
"Rolling eyes"
The black plague, the chief dread of the period, completely retreated from Europe to its original home in central Asia... There are no outbreaks of plague on record during the LCO and few of other diseases. ...the Mongols, who burst into Europe just before the era drew to a close. A curious fact about these episodes is that they were not followed by massive exchanges of diseases, which normally occurs when cultural bubbles are broken after long periods of isolation.
The black plague was unknown in Europe until a Genoese ship fleeing from a Mongol seige of a Black Sea port in 1347 brought it. This was after the end of the LCO, which is usually put around 1300.
It is also ludicrous to contend that medieval Europe was an unusually healthy place. Epidemics were common, just not to the scale of the black death.
In fact, all European cities to 1850 had higher death than birth rates due to disease. Immigration from the comparatively healthy countryside is all that kept cities from dying out.
Global Warming ping!
