I thought that the Canadians on the net might be interested in something my
father wrote to me the other day:
On a more serious note, I keep reading articles about the earth's
temperature rising. I'm sure you have seen similar reports -- they
are not new. One recent report commented that our present wheat
belt would become a desert and that Canada and Siberia would become
the new wheat belts. I suggest that if it appears that the predictions
are coming true that you consider moving to Canada before the border
is closed. I'm not kidding.
(I didn't bring this up in order to spawn a discussion of the likelihood of
such predictions, as I suspect that few people on the net know enough about
it to comment with any authority. I guess it just seemed like an appropriate
subject for a typical round of flaming [thereby accelerating the warming
process in a neat self-fulfilling prophecy! :-) ])

I believe that Canada is the largest grain producer in the world. A general warming trend would probably turn Saskatchewan and the rest of the grain producing provinces into desert. I would think that the Northwest and the Yukon Territories would be a nice places to live in. I also don't think we would close our borders to our neighbours to the south who have all those big nuclear type missles :-) A Canadian living in NJ. tom glinos pegasus!tom
