Does anyone know any good site that show global warming's economic impacts?

Question

I need info on the impact of global warming on the economy.

Answer 1

I don't know a good site but here are some possible impacts: We will face food shortage when California is under water (not going to happen for another 100 and some years), the greatest place for business in the world is going to be under water, Manhattan (not going to happen for 100 and some years), and to fix this problem, it will cause trillions of dollars.

Also, the prices of everything will go up.

Answer 2

There are many on the web.  Wikipedia has some good links in their refrences and in their external links sections. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_o...

The insurance industry is already seeing the costs and offering monetary incentives to "go green" http://www.livescience.com/environment/0...  

In fact according to Joseph Kenny, "For the 5 year period from 1998 to 2003 (the last on public record), weather-related insurance claims in the UK amounted to £6 billion. This figure is almost DOUBLE that paid out during the 5 period immediately prior to this." (emphasis mine)

World needs more CO2, environment confab told

'There will be significant cooling very soon,' asserts solar scientist

You could have heard a pin drop at the Hong Kong conference designed to persuade the airline industry to cut back on its production of so-called greenhouse gases to fight "global warming."

The "Greener Skies 2008" conference had just heard from David Archibald, a solar scientist asserting that climate change is mostly dictated by solar cycles, not carbon dioxide levels, as conventional wisdom suggests.

Archibald didn't just tell the group not to worry about carbon dioxide emissions. He told those gathered they should figure out ways of increasing CO2 output.

"In a few short years, we will have a reversal of the warming of the 20th century," Archibald warned, according to CargoNews Asia. "There will be significant cooling very soon. Our generation has known a warm, giving sun, but the new generation will suffer a sun that is less giving, and the earth will be less fruitful. Carbon dioxide is not even a little bit bad – it's wholly beneficial."

One observer at the February conference said there would have been fewer jaws dropping had Archibald stripped off his clothes before the assembled.

"Plant growth responds to atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment," he continued. "In a world of higher atmospheric carbon dioxide, crops will use less water per unit of carbon dioxide uptake. Thus the productivity of semi-arid lands will increase the most."

But the real shocker was not just his unorthodox view of carbon dioxide. Unlike most of those in the conference, Archibald doesn't see a future threat of global warming, but an imminent and dire future of global cooling.

"We will need this increase in agricultural productivity to offset the colder weather coming," he said. "It also follows that if the developed countries of the world want to be caring and sharing to the countries of the Third World, the best thing that could be done for them is to increase atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. It is the equivalent of giving them free phosphate fertilizer. Who would want to deny the Third World such a wonderful benefit?''

After Archibald's speech, Martin Craigs, president of Aerospace Forum Asia, went to the microphone and asked: "Don't you have Al Gore's e-mail address?" "How can you be right and 2,000 scientists wrong?"

IT is a scam for GLOBAL CARBON TAX PAID by YOU to WORLD BANK

By Ed Cropley

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Developing countries and environmental groups accused the World Bank on Friday of trying to seize control of the billions of dollars of aid that will be used to tackle climate change in the next four decades.

"The World Bank's foray into climate change has gone down like a lead balloon," Friends of the Earth campaigner Tom Picken said at the end of a major climate change conference in the Thai capital.

"Many countries and civil society have expressed outrage at the World Bank's attempted hijacking of real efforts to fund climate change efforts," he said.

Before they agree to any sort of restrictions on emissions of the greenhouse gases fuelling global warming, poor countries want firm commitments of billions of dollars in aid from their rich counterparts.

Answer 5

It is going to cause a depression ,just look at the price of oil.

Answer 6

You need a site to tell you that when all manufacturing goes away to other countries, that this country will go to poverty?  

Global warming fanatics want all manufacturing stopped.  We already don't have steel mills, copper smelting has virtually gone away and textiles are all made in Korea, Taiwan or China.  

Then after we have hit economic rock bottom, if global warming were real, then the temp would still be rising dramatically more because these idiots have sent all of our manufacturing overseas without EPA, governmental controls and even more waste and inefficient production.

Great job environmentalists!!!!!
