He is most likely publishing this to suck up for exactly such a grant.

In order to prepare for a global temperature increase of 4 degrees, I have cranked the AC up so my house temperature is 4 degrees lower. Thanks for the warning science-man!

OK...I'll go with what "will happen" at 4 degrees higher...
I would like to know how the resultant millions of acres of
additional arable, agricultural crop-producing land in Canada,
Russia, Alaska, Sweden, Finland, etc. will be a problem...
Co-incidentally this additional farm acreage will be where
the greatest amount of unused fresh water currently exists.
I suppose the Gore-Suzuki "school of thought" would surmise that
such scenario would still see vast numbers of the human race
perish in Africa, Asia, Central and South America ?
Or in [God forbid],flooded New York, London, or Tokyo....
But humans always migrate to where they can survive...they have
since the beginning of time, and vast numbers will migrate
yet again....many will not survive, entire civilizations may be wiped
out by disease and starvation...but we are talking total survival here,
and many generations hence...it's not over, and it's not a crisis
unless one considers their own lifestyle to be somehow the epitome
of civilization. It isn't.
It's not an "us" situation. It's not a "them" situation....
I do believe "we" will survive.

You are absolutly correct. Canada should be encouraging global warming. Canada will have more usable land to use. More food can be produced which mean more political power. Many people say Canada doesn't have a voice on the world's table. That will certaintly change when Canada is bringing the dinner!

Now that we've had the opinion of the "Top Scientist", I personally want to know what the "Bottom Scientist" thinks about this whole scenario?
