Global Cooling

[Undertoad]

As with every global change there will be bad things AND good things that come of it. We never hear about the good things.

Bad: sections of the planet become unlivable.
Good: other sections of the planet become livable!

Bad: sea level rise.
Good: Manhattan streets finally clean!

Bad: no ice platforms for polar bears to fish from.
Good: overfishing is a problem anyway!

Bad: change in ocean currents put Britain into permafrost.
Good: George Galloway finally shuts up!

Bad: Alaskan caribou lose homeland.
Good: We can finally drill for oil there!

The rest of your points were clearly jokes, so I'm only going to address this one, which some people might consider to be true.

Let's take Baffin Island for an example. It's cold and desolate now. If it gets warmer, you might think that people would be able to live there more than they do now.

But if you look at pictures, even after it warms up, it will be gravel. Warm gravel instead of cold gravel. It takes hundreds of thousands of years for gravel to turn into soil with organic material in it.

This was the lushest picture of Baffin Island I could find.
