There is no doubt that warming creates winners as well as losers. The most obvious winners are high latitude countries, where the growing season is extended. The beneficiaries go far beyond human beings - think of plants, insects, animals. You won't see a story in the mass media that refers to any benefits. Everyone knows warming is bad, don't they? I like to say, what if we learned that the world was cooling, would that be good news? No, of course that would be bad news too. So any change is bad. But unfortunately change is the only certainty where climate is concerned. Also there is no Santa Claus.

What most of "global warming is benign" articles seem to miss is that because the rate of temperature change is so drastic at a time when we have isolated the natural ecosystems into disconnected "islands" and thus denied the possibility of them migrating along with the conditions they require, there will be a serious of horrendous ecological disasters and species die-offs. It's going to get very very ugly. The outbreaks of forest fire and insects are harbingers of the deforestation of Canada as the deserts migrate north (something that is already demonstrably happening). LC
