<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for The Climate Changed and All Norway Got Was Everything]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Eva http://www.grist.org/article/the-climate-changed-and-all-norway-got-was-everything/ Tue, 21 Aug 2007 04:20:54 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/the-climate-changed-and-all-norway-got-was-everything/1 more hospitable climate in Norway

Thinking that a warmer climate is a more hospitable climate is simplistic. Although the climate in Norway may become warmer it is wrong to think that this is beneficial. Great ecological shifts and disturbances will accompany a climate change. Although animals may be able to "follow" warmer weather vegetation won't. And while farmers may have a longer growing season, so will pests and diseases.

In short major disruptions, rather than benefits.

Just wait till the Gulf Stream cools off from all that melting North Atlantic ice, and Northern Europe's  temperature drops.  Then Norway, along with the rest of Europe, may realize that the present govt and corporate leadership of the US has declared war on Europe, with its chosen Weapon of Mass Destruction being carbon dioxide.
