The report outlines some specific potential scenarios, but it carefully states all of its predictions in probabilistic terms and reiterates the National Academy of Sciences' conclusion that specific predictions about climate change are, as yet, impossible. More importantly, the report notes (and the Times acknowledges) that global warming is likely to increase agricultural and forest productivity...

[snort!] It'll take a hell of a lot of "global warming" to return Greenland to the idyllic farming country the Vikings found and settled! >:p

I note that many of the so-called scientists now screaming about global warming were, when I was in high school, issuing dire warnings of a new Ice Age by 2025! All of the global warming models are bullshit. Not one of them can "predict" the documented past! Taken in either direction, they all run off into catastrophic climate changes. They are bullshit, and the scientists who support them are spouting bullshit because that's what gets them all that nice grant money. The New Ice Age is out of political favor! Long live Global Warming, the new favorite!
