Global Warming: Taking It In Stride

I feel that there is nothing to worry about when it comes to global warming. Personally when I think of global warming I imagine a world where cold nagging winters are no more! Comfortable summer weather would be year-round! Personally I am person that enjoys summertime and the thought of the earth gradually getting warmer just warms me! No more seasonal depression! No more stuck in the house with your in laws during the holidays! No more cabin fever! No more itchy sweaters! I believe that global warming might do humanity some good.

With a warmer world I believe the world would benefit. Warm weather would lengthen the growing season for crops hence more food, Eventually the climate patterns would be rather chaotic for a couple years but things would eventually settle and find equilibrium. Some country can finally lay claim to Antarctica. Once fossil fuels run dry mankind's carbon footprint would diminish and solar power would be feasible!

Yet there are some problems caused by global warming that could be solved in the near future. Such as the melting of the polar icecaps. Scientists have stated that melting polar icecaps could inundate populous coastal cities and countries like the Netherlands. But I have a solution! I have thought up some sort of polar meltwater transportation system. If mankind could find a way to transport huge quantities of fresh polar/glacial meltwater via massive tanker ships or some effective near future method to arid places such as regions around the diminishing Caspian and Aral Seas, Dead Sea, Salton Sea or Lake Chad. The polar meltwater could be used to refill those diminishing bodies of water.

Sounds far fetched today but a couple decades from now it could be fact. Hell we could make deserts, livable. Hell we could sell the meltwater by the barrel or tank for irrigation, by the bottle for personal drinking, or for fuel!
I imagined that the meltwater could be used for electrolysis to capture hydrogen and provide fuel of fusion powerplants.

Damn regular liberals and limousine liberals just terrorizing the populace. Global warming doesn't seem that bad. Beats an ice age any day.
