Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Benefits of climate warming

I don't think you can attribute all of the prosperity of Medieval Europe to the Medieval Warm Period, but surely some of it.


At Maggie's, we retain a healthy skepticism about AGW just as we do about most or all scientific theories - and especially those driven by political or economic agendas.


What we mostly hear from the Climate Change propagandists are the terrifying effects of some planetary warming. We never hear about the benefits. 


I took a minute to google "advantages+global warming" and "benefits+global warming," and found tons of links. A few samples of them:


Special Report: Global Warming Benefits May Exceed Risks


The Bright Side of Global Warming


Global Warming Health Benefits


By coincidence, I see that SDA had the idea of googling "climate porn."

And today, there was an article about forest density - which has increased dramatically, soaking up quite a bit of the carbon in the atmosphere. While deforesting is taking place, forests as a whole are, in fact, maintaining their total carbon product.

AGW is a hoax. A massive, massive hoax.

It's possible SOME warming is taking place. Nothing unusual and certainly nothing we can control.

Climate change is a bit like population shifts or changes in vegetation. It occurs naturally all the time due to a lot of factors. Human activity seems to operate on the climate at a scale too small to measure reliably, thus climate change may be real but human-induced, harmful climate change is a chimera.
Any climate shift will benefit some animals and some human groups more than it will benefit others. So any climate shift can be shown to have benefits and to do harm. Very Darwinian.
