Resolved: Canada should be pro global warming

Reasons why Canada should be Pro the warming of the Earth:1) Opening of the Northwest Passage. The Northwest passage is a supposed water route between Europe and Asia through the northern waters of Canada that has long been sought after by explorers. Ice sheets that froze over the oceans naturally prevented such a passage from ever being open, but that changed in 2009 when global warming opened up the Northwest passage for the first time, albeit only briefly during summerhttps://en.wikipedia.org...Should global warming continue though, more and more ice in the northern hemisphere will melt, allowing for the Northwest passage to open up even larger, allowing for massive shipping between Europe and east Asia. A northwest passage would actually reduce shipping times between Europe and Asia by 40% due to the curvature of the Earth! This is great news for Canada as this would make Canada a global shipping hub and center for international tradehttp://www.fednav.com...http://www.reuters.com...2) More natural resources for CanadaCanada is a mineral and resource rich land (it is the second biggest country int he world after all) but a good chunk of hose resources are unaccessible due to ice and frigid temperatures that makes extracting those resources impractical or financially impossible. Global warming though could remove these natural barriers and allow Canada to turn into an incredibly resource-rich nation, as tons and tons of resources like oil, coal, and natural gas become increasingly accessible due to global warming. The prices for these goods naturally will be much higher in the future as well, meaning that Canada would benefit greatly from global warming in terms of resource mining and drillinghttp://www.ctvnews.ca...3) Would bring forests to parts of Canada where they couldnt grow beforehttp://www.dailymail.co.uk...Canada's forests have been cut down pretty frequently but have not been able to grow back due to how cold the country is, as the frigid temperatures simply don't allow for enough rainfall for trees to take route and grow. Global warming though on a large scale could change that, meaning that Canadian forests would grow at record amounts and in places trees havent grown for thousands of years, which would benefit Canada since recent polling indicates that trees are good. 4) Huge increase in agricultural growthIn addition to trees, other forms of plant life would also greatly benefit in Canada from global warming, such as crops grown as food like corn. Canada has a cold climate and the window for growing crops is substantially small, but a warmer climate would allow soils to become more fertile, crops to have more time to grow before harvest. Canada could turn itself into the new breadbasket of the world should global warming be allowed to proceed and the climate allowed to grow warmer. This benefits farmers and would turn Canada into a food exporting nation rather than a food importing nation, in addition to one rich in mineral wealth and also a gigantic trade hub. 5) Misc benefits:Global warming would allow Canadians to save money on heating bills, it would make Canada more of a tourist destination as cities like Toronto and Montreal become more inviting as notoriously cold temperatures become a thing of the past, summers in Canada wont feel like they last 37 minutes, farmers of course would benefit tremendously at increased production and make more money, the population growth would likely pick up since warmer places correlate to higher birth rates
