Alright Global Warming, we can go to Russia with little ice in the way! How 
warm does it have to get to flood Washington state so Moscow can be beach 
front property? "The Idaho Coast" has a nice ring to it.

I also would like to see Alaska and Antarctica have less ice, that way we 
can get to the oil more quickly.

"Accelerated warming is also likely to cause forests to spread into the 
tundra regions. . .", and you guys were worried about deforestation, no 
worries now, global warming takes care of this. Maybe the spotted owl can 
find a new home too!

There are so many reasons to support global warming. Here is just the top 
ten:

10) A quicker route to UK, Finland and Russia
9) Increased trade
8) Greater access to oil
7) More land for increasing world population
6) Increased forestation in the north to replace deforestation everywhere 
else
5) The drowning of 8 million whining New Yorkers
4) A whole new continent to exploit, Antarctica
3) Grandma doesn't need to go south for the winter anymore, because there 
isn't one.
2) More fresh water, 90% is in the polar caps, the Colorado River was 
running low

And the number one reason to support Global Warming is

1) The elimination of Penguins, they practice homosexuality.

Now, if someone could please exploit the Earth so it stops, I would be much 
obliged, I would like to get off now.

Your trying to be optimistic friend,
