   Good video, esp how it is the rich and powerful denying CC in their efforts to hold onto wealth/power even by abusing others or allowing their harm/abuse. Also the circular firing squad thing - arguing against CC and also for it.

          RE warming Canada, esp in the Arctic region. I heard from someone up there that the permafrost soil is too poor for agriculture (without the centuries and millennia of organic matter decomposing), to support the idea that we can just move north as the climate warms and permafrost melts. It is not a solution that will work, aside from the melting permafrost releasing massive amounts of methane.

   Lynnvinc @1 :

   Similarly, I had heard that the northern Siberian soils would be poorly suited to our standard agriculture.  The picture is somewhat patchy ~ but a tendency to acid and/or sandy soils and low phosphate levels.

   As you say, a great amount of time and effort needed to rehabilitate the soil.  Also the high cost of establishing all the necessary infrastructure.

   With greater warmth, though, the soil would suit extensive grazing herds.  But using the land for meat production would be very inefficient, in a world of 8 billion humans.  Probably cheaper, simply to take measures to counter AGW !
