@GonZo_626 I am curious from where he's getting that information from.
Finally, someone proclaimed an obvious truth that few dare to utter publicly. According to Moody’s Analytics, Canada will benefit from climate change. Although it will shock many, this forecast should surprise no one. Canada is a very large, cold country, with 90 per cent of its population huddled within 100 miles of its southern border and an enormous agricultural potential if the land warms up. There will also be new opportunities for oil, gas and mineral development in the Arctic. And let’s not ignore the greater personal comfort of living in a more hospitable climate.
Oh yes! Canada is very large and cold country. But it is not a cold country all the time. Very hot summers and extreme weather patters like heavy rains and floods will still take place.
A quick google search reveals gives us a different insight in their report :
Strange. Other nations will be hit by extreme weather patters and their infrastructure will suffer but Canadas not?
I can not find information specifically about Canada here. But it would be foolish to believe that Canada would be unaffected in a globalized world economy where the slightest of Trumps fart is causing the markets to jump. Besides Joe Oliver is also known for other articles like
Joe Oliver: We should prepare for extreme weather, but tying it to climate change is a mistake where he posts completely wrong opinions, I quote
"(...)But the causes of extreme weather and whether it’s bound to become more common are still being debated by scientists". He denies high school knowledge that every physics student is learning and which has been falsified countless of times by now. I have a very hard time to really trust someone who's not even believing in Green House gases to be the cause of climate change. The science is settled here. We do know that more extreme weather patterns happen also due to climate change and the rising in temperature. More heat means more energy which results in larger storms. The number of Co2 particles and other green houses gases in our atmosphere can be also directly measured. This is hard science we're talking about here.
However there are estimations that tell us that Canadas economy will be effected.
Even Canada will be looking at severe changes in their ecosystems, including their agriculture and living conditions :
FOREST TO PRAIRIE
Milder winters allow mountain pine beetles to survive and infect forests in Alberta and Saskatchewan, killing trees and turning parched and overheated forests into tinder boxes.
Wildfire seasons already begin weeks before they used to. In the Northwest Territories, where temperatures are climbing faster than almost anywhere on earth, the 2014 fire season set a record of 3.4 million hectares of scorched forest.

At this point there can be absolutely no doubts that Canada and its economy will be affected by the global change in temperature. This will mean changes to larger urban areas as it will mean changes to more remote areas across the whole country. Changes in the climate even by a few degrees can come with very large changes in certain insect populations. Areas with forests and plants which had not seen certain species might be overrun now by beetles which have not been present before. The effects can end up in dying forests and crop failures. So even areas which might become more hospitable will still be hit by the changes. And we have yet not talked about possible changes in soil and ground water due to melting glaciers, changes in rain patters and so on and so forth. The idea that Canada would not be affected severely is ludicrous. It's like driving at full speed with a car that's missing brakes and claiming everything will be fine because you have better airbags than the rest.

Looking at their chart I find it interesting how almost every part of the planet is shown as a "looser" to climate change except for Europe and North America. How suspiciously convenient. And this is not making anyone raising their eyebrows? I guess Canada and Europe are not living on the same planet as the rest of the world. Look at the destabilisation of Syrah and how it effected Europe. Now imagine this on a global scale and tell me again it has no real effect on us. They claim that Russia, China and India will be hit by climate change yet at the same time they say tourism is going to increase in North America and Europe? Is this some kind of joke? Did they mistake climate refugees for tourists maybe? Take a very close look at this in particular :
The Moody's report, by its own admission, didn't factor in the impact of natural disasters, such as Hurricane Florence that hit the North Carolina coast and produced this scene last summer. (Jonathan Drake/Reuters)
And this is the Report John Oliver decided to spend all his trust in? alright then. Well I guess if you juggle around numbers like that you could make every nations GDP grow if the global temperature would climb by 10°! Just leave important parts like growing storms and damages by natural disasters - the main issue with climate change - out of the equation! I wonder why a company that's connected to Moody’s Risk Management Service (MRMS) leaves such vital information out. But it reminds me to the Russians and what they did after Tschernobyl when the numbers of radiated victims was growing. They simply changed the definition at which point radiation poisoning is considered unhealthy. And suddenly you had almost no more victims that could demand any compensation. Problem solved I guess!
Let us assume for some reason that's not really explained central Europa and Canada would be largely unaffected by the change in temperature but how are we supposed to shield our self from the rest of the world effectively? While we might be capable of building walls to keep all those people storming our borders World War Z style we still rely on a global economy and the global market. If China, India, Africa, the Middle East, Russia and South America become unstable maybe even inhospitable in some cases as moodys analysis claims it will have very severe effects on us as well. Including Canada. You know even the Canadian economy does trade with those nations.
But even if we accept all of this report as "true" it actually begs the question if we really should keep up with a lifestyle that has the potential to harm maybe even kill millions if not billions of people.
But what's really interesting is the other information the article is giving us like this :
By Moody's own admission, the report doesn't calculate a number of climate change impacts that are likely to affect the economy, including the increased likelihood of expensive natural disasters. The costs of those storms are already enormous, and growing quickly.
(...)
Nor does Moody's tabulate the economic impact of geopolitical risk from things like climate refugees.
"Slower economic growth in the most affected countries could prompt residents of those countries to relocate," Moody's said. "If the degree of emigration is large enough, it could put strain on certain countries that are receiving the immigrants," Moody's said, noting how immigration has already become a thorny political issue in the U.S.
Splendid! They leave some of the most vital parts out of their calculations. How is this supposed to be even remotely accurate if they are on one hand missing a whole lot of data and also leaving out developments like the growing number of storms and natural disasters due to climate change? Storms and natural disasters which will also have severe effects on agriculture by the way.
I am sorry Gonzo but this really doesn't build up a lot of reassurance that Canada will have a good time in the future.
Gonzo also do me a favour. The next time you read such an Article like from John Oliver treat it like as he gave you a statistic where he claimed guns cause an increase in violence. 
. Apply this (excellent) critical thinking of yours in the same way here as you do in gun debates!
The point is the climate changed. First it was a desert, then it was lake, now it is a poison smelly lake. Shit happens and you writing actual treatises on a internet forum isn't going to change that fact no matter how many spectrum points you put into them.
Now I remember why I put you on my ignore list again ...
You probably don't read what I write you probably just shovel words around in your mind till they mean something to you.
Remember why this place became a poisonous smelly lake and then you might make the connection between this lake and climate change. A small hint it has something to do with humans and how they treat eco systems like how the Rainforest was once a forest and is now becoming an ash desert. Shit happens I guess ...
Anyway I am not going to discuss this matter any further with you from now on.
