IVE Said this for years

what is more threatening thing to man? warm or cold?

why is 2/3 of the earth non-inhabitable ? cold

all of canada, basically

most of russia , basically

most areas over 5000 ft even in temperate climates

can you grow anything in the cold? no

thus, global warming, despite the flooding of some islands that youve never heard about in the pacific, is NOT a threat.

increases in storms etc are just plain conjecture

Bottom line, the #1 reason we need to get on the renewable energy trip is becuase when the big boys get in a fight over oil when it runs short it will be REAL REAL UGLY.

I don't know, H2dude. We had a much better garden on Alaska than we did in Wyoming. The biggest difference was the shorter growing season. We could only bring in one or two crops in AK, but we managed to get three in Michigan. Bigger and better animals, too. I think that the cold helped keep the parasites down. (I know there's a liberal joke in here somewhere...)

All-in-all, it's workable. And I have awakened to find my house COMPLETELY covered in snow, roof and everything. I'll never forget my father's swearing when he opened the front door to find a wall of white. The roof didn't cave in and the snow actually acted like insulation in the house. I do think that we'll have to adapt to less vegetation, though. The eskimos did it without farming, so can we.

One more thing. Don't forget green houses, hydroponics and grow lights. We really can grow anything, anywhere.
