Earth's temperature is on the rise, researchers say, and environmental watchdogs are howling, hoping it's not too late to avert negative effects that could range from melting icecaps to mass extinctions.

Some scientists, however, now think global warming is irreversible. In light of this sobering view, certain economists and scientists are searching for a silver lining. While the good news they find might not be global, some researchers believe the benefits of Earth's warming will help compensate for the harmful consequences.

In Brittain there are 20,000 to 40,000 deaths a year, related to cold weather. So warmer weather would lower the death rate. When a heat wave comes through it can kill thousands of people, like in France 2003, 10,000 people died. They say the problem with warmer weather is that it usually brings a surge of malaria or bacterial disease. Global warming may have a positive economic impact on agriculture. Longer growing seasons, fewer frosts and more parcipitation and other things could benefit farmers.

Here is your silver lining :

BTW: maybe the u.s. government already had such "irreversible" report from Jason or something and it would make little sense to sign Kyoto ?

Anyway, there MUST be I assume what-if reports in posession of the dod and oil companies to propose plans that focus on maintaining the profit in a "hot" market..
