We see it done every day with all kinds of issues far more immediate than this.

"Immediate" is an interesting term in relation to global warming... as it is precisely the "non-immediate" (ie. long term) but far ranging as well as unknown and unexpected ramifications that make it such an enormous issue.

"Spun as a positive" is impossible IMHO. GW means change... change is always difficult and disruptive, even if vast northern farmlands open up... vast farmlands in other places would have to completely morph to either other crops, etc. Populations displaced, animal habitats moving.... wacky and EXPENSIVE.

Don't get me wrong, IMHO there are "immediate" issues that CAN be addressed that also deal with GW... ie. pollution... and personally I think GW should be addressed as pollution. There is plenty of data to support cutting pollution.

I was responding to your post (from a Rupert Murdoch paper) that Antarctic ice is increasing. That's incorrect. There may be a greater area, but the mass of land ice is decreasing dramatically.
