Resolved: Canada should be pro global warming

1) Russia"Opening of the Northwest passage will, indeed vastly increase the amount of shipping across the top of Canada, but it will also bring Canada into confrontation with Russian interests who have laid claim to a large portion of the Aortic."When Russia invaded Ukrainian Crimea they promptly felt the wrath of the rest of the world through crippling economic sanctions... And this was over Ukraine. If Russia tried to pick a fight with Canada, the poster child for well-behaved and sensible countries, it would be an act of economic suicide on the part of Russia. Russia would therefore be careful in being aggressive towards Canada since its history of being aggressive towards other, far less important nations proved to be very costly for Russia itself. 2) Resources + forests"Allowing a quantum increase in the amount of natural resource extraction in Canada will destroy much of what makes Canada a desirable place to live"Completely false and unsubstantiated opinion. "What global warming will do is to change the type of trees that are currently there to others that are more suited to warmer temperatures. That will change the entire ecosystem, destroy much native species of plants and animals, and have unknown effects on the human population"That's only true if the degree of global warming done is so severe that existing species could no longer survive in Canada, which is not necessarily the case. Canada wouldn't be going from Pine Trees to Palm Trees like you are suggesting, global warming would just allow for more trees to grow in areas that used to be too cold for trees to grow in. 3) Refugees"Rises in sea level will displace billions of people who will be seeking higher ground"Canada doesn't have a population of 'billions'... "Is it to Canada's benefit to have those huge numbers of people, of vastly different cultures, seeking to get into that country by whatever means possible?"What makes you think ALL of these refugees would all go to Canada? The only countries even remotely close to Canada are the US and Russia, two gigantic countries with enough space of their own for refugees to aim for rather then Canada. Any refugee problem caused by rising sea levels would not affect Canada, because there are no regions or countries located close enough to Canada for refugees to come from. 4) Impact on fishing"One of the effects of climate change is the acidification of the seas, destroying much of the seafood stocks upon which much of the world, and the Canadian economy, depends."First off only 150,000 people in Canada rely on fishing for their jobhttps://en.wikipedia.org...The oil industry in the Canadian Province of Alberta alone on the other hand employs over 500,000 people. More than 3 times what fishing does, and this is just in one province of Canadahttp://www.oilsandstoday.ca...Global warming would open up Canada to more oil reserves that are currently unreachable due to how severe the climate is in some places. Any fishing jobs lost to global warming would more than be made up for by the new jobs made in oil drilling, which pays substantially better than fishing jobs as well. 5) Agriculture"Canada is a major exporter of products like wheat , meat, and seafood"And with warmer temperatures opening up more arable land, Canada will be able to create more farming jobs, increase food exports, make more money, etc. "The Canadians are doing pretty well right now"The argument is that Canada would do better if the world was warmer, not that they are not doing well right now. "How the very unstable, nuclear armed world produced by global warming will make Canada a better place is beyond my understanding"Well that's because either 1) You choose to ignore the arguments I've made up to this point showing how Canada would benefit, or 2) You are not smart enough to actually understand the arguments I have made
