Move to Canada to survive Climate Change

independent.co.uk — At the other end of the scale, Canada is the best place to move to if you want to be a climate change survivor in the decades ahead (although Britain is also a good place to be as a warming atmosphere takes hold).

    I agree, no matter what happens to the planet, it's always going to be freezing and piss down with rain here.
    • bosssmiley, on 07/04/2008, -8/+3So the Independent has now decided that all that guff about the Gulf Stream being disrupted and the glaciers returning to the UK thanks to global narming was, in fact, scare-mongering bunk after all.
      • greenfyre, on 07/04/2008, -2/+7If you read the article instead of commenting on a comment you just might have made a relevant comment. Unlikely, but possible.
    • dhughes, on 07/04/2008, -2/+3 I live in the Canadian Maritimes, I think we should divert the Gulf stream and steal all your foggy weather, of course we'd also go "Yoink!".
    • usa4eva, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4What the *****, half of North England almost got flooded, how the hell is it good to live here lol.
    • MattBD, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I'm sure not all of Britain is great for surviving - I live in Norfolk which is flat and low-lying, so it'd be the first place to get swamped. Not that it would be a great loss to the country...
    • HumanRecalled, on 07/05/2008, -0/+0until that raining climate turns into hot and humid sticking gross wet weather !! Jesus it would be like always being in a hot shower !! And trying to breath through hot teas bags over your mouth !
  • davecachia, on 07/04/2008, -11/+3Winter's are getting better here.
    CMON DOWN!!!!!!!
    • riskybeats, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4It would actually be up. BURIED!
      • Markpdotcom, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3You're stupid. It depends on where you're CMON-ing from!
  • greenfyre, on 07/04/2008, -7/+36Speaking as a Canadian I am a little puzzled by this one. The impacts on Canada will vary depending on what time / temperature point the authors are using . Do they mean 2015, 2030? 2050? 2070?

    As far as I know the moderate scenario looks something like i) the already water stressed western agriculture collapses due to aridity and soil loss, ii) ocean acidification finishes off the troubled fisheries, iii) the forests that don't burn become pest infested, then burn, iv) radical changes in river flow (up or down) hammer hydoroelectric production, etc.

    Those who imagine (and there are quite a few of them) that we will just move our agriculture north have never tried to plow a very shallow soil layer overlaying solid rock, which is what most of the north is. It's quite tricky

    The premise of using low population density as a sign of being able to resist climate change has one serious flaw ... there is a reason the population denisty is low. Like Australia there are huge areas of the country that are not arable, so for the most part people did not move there.
    Australia is a good case in point as it is already suffering more than many western countries with drought anbd fires, yet it too is listed as least vulnerable.

    By this logic Antartica should be excellent as the population densities are very low.

    I realize that I have not seen the study and cannot really comment based on a newspaper report, but I am leery. The premise seems to be a very mild climate change scenario, one that is just a brief passing phase before things get much worse sometime in the next few decades. I just can't see any other way they came to this conclusion.
    • justbloggin, on 07/04/2008, -3/+5You cannot really comment? Evidence would suggest otherwise.
    • bloodrave, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2Hear, hear!
    • jaythewise, on 07/04/2008, -2/+2The loss in soil moisture from runoff is supposed to be offset by INCREASED rain and the longer growing season.

      Think of the middle of the bread basket moving up as far as Grande prairie in alberta. Instead of 90 frost free days you get 130, that equals a hell of alot of food that can be grown....
    • doiveo, on 07/04/2008, -1/+0Actually vast areas of Canada are arable and it shares little in common with Australia's deserts. As things warm, Canada should have a longer growing season raise its fecundity - provided it continues to rain of course :S.
      • MacSuxWindozSux, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1"Canadian Shield" isn't what you think it is.
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Shield
      • doiveo, on 07/05/2008, -0/+0There's 45 million hectares of land for agricultural use in Canada - actually pretty close to Australia at 49. However, 23% of Canada is covered by the Tundra and permafrost. As the environment warms, there's a chance that Canada will gain significant tracks of land for agriculture. Unfortunately for Australia, the opposite appears to be true as the drought is setting in.
      • greenfyre, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Heck, just google images of Canadian Shield, have a nice look at all that granite and think "so how do I run a combine over THAT??"
      • greenfyre, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1@doiveodoiveo

        "there's a chance that Canada will gain significant tracks of land for agriculture"

        and the water would come from where?

    • Yazilliclick, on 07/04/2008, -2/+1hmm perhaps read the article as they explain, with canada as an example, what they based their conclusions on.
      • greenfyre, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Read it, now read my post about how low population desity =/= ability to feed a lot more people.

    • riskybeats, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Well.. If you have a wet suit. I just went kite surfing where the glacier water meets the ocean (Squamish).. Not California but still damn cool.
    • ryleyleckie, on 07/04/2008, -3/+1hardly. temp may rise but if anything the storms here will increase. the weather here is ***** year round and it's getting worse.

    • ZenMojo, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3That's it. Time to annex Canada before China invades Alaska and the European Union becomes the European Commonwealth and collapses into bickering city-states.
      • MacSuxWindozSux, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4The Americans already tried.
  • phreak79, on 07/04/2008, -1/+8Some places on earth will undoubtably benefit from a warmer climate, but that doesn't mean the instability it may cause won't disrupt the entire globe.
    • greenfyre, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1define "benefit"? and when? climate change is a long process that goes through mutliple phases. Best estimates are that if we do trigger catastrophic climate change things will have settled down again in about 100,000 yrs. That's a long time not to have a predictable food supply (for eg)
      • justbloggin, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6While I'm already glad to be Living in Canada, I don't expect to be immune to the nightmare of climate change. We have already experienced far more erratic and extreme weather. I expect it to get worse. If we don't ALL wake up we are in big trouble in the not to distant future.
  • alpha88, on 07/04/2008, -5/+25Canada is going to change the last by climate change becuase it's already ***** cold in the winter, and ***** hot in the summer. We're used to it so we don't complain.
    • Blax, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Depends where you are... Vancouver is quite moderate, but we've got tons of rain. :(
    • ryleyleckie, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6cause all of Canada has the same climate. right...
      • Fozefy, on 07/04/2008, -8/+3All of Canada that matters does ;). (Ontario for the none Canadian's) The only other part of Canada that could make that claim being Alberta which has a very similar climate to Ontario.
      • alpha88, on 07/04/2008, -3/+2The areas which have the largest populations do generally have a very similar climate. Thanks for playing.
      • ryleyleckie, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4@alpha88, really so vancouver's climate is similar to winnipeg or toronto? interesting, didn't know that...
      • RogueMountie, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6@Fozefy: Alberta does not have a similar climate to Ontario.
      • stuffradio, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4@Fozefy Us in BC are getting the Winter Olympics, because we're more important than you ;)
      • MacSuxWindozSux, on 07/05/2008, -2/+1Look at you all... like vultures.
  • zyl0x, on 07/04/2008, -2/+5What a stupid thing to say. Also, this year has been terribly wet in comparison to others. It's just one huge storm system after another. Just an overall dumb article.
    • stuffradio, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1The last two winters have been a lot more winter like, I found.
  • bloodrave, on 07/04/2008, -3/+6Silly article. Its thesis is essentially "rich countries will be able to deal with climate change better because they're rich. African countries are ***** because they tend to be poor, lolz."
  • BradMajors, on 07/04/2008, -3/+7Other studies have shown that both Canada and Russia will have substantial benefits from global warning.
  • StevesJobs, on 07/04/2008, -2/+29This message brought to you by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
    • arkaycee, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3The Quebec commercials in English will say "Quebec is the WORST place to move to, we are dying due to global warming," but the French versions will say "if you can read this, come join us -- we rock!"
      • MacSuxWindozSux, on 07/05/2008, -3/+1That's because they only want french people.
      • StevesJobs, on 07/05/2008, -1/+1Thats the point. Wow.
      • MacSuxWindozSux, on 07/05/2008, -2/+1Ouch. Sharp.
      • lostlyrics, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2
        if you hear quebecoise, you'll realize, they do
        not want to be understood by canadians either.

        and unlike in newfoundland theire is
        no excuse that it is not intentionally :D
  • Emachine, on 07/04/2008, -2/+7That's what I've been saying for years, we can use some Global Warming here. Most of the weather/climate related issues we have are in the winter. It may be the second biggest country in the world, but a significant portion of that land is useless because it's so ***** cold up there.
  • movieset2, on 07/04/2008, -2/+7The writer of the other article about moving to Canada on that same site couldn't tell the difference between a city (Calgary), a province (Alberta) or the country. Go spend some time looking at the populations in Vancouver, Montreal, Halifax and Yellowknife. You won't find any people wearing cowboy hats living in those cities like you do in Calgary, nor are those cities' temperatures in winter all the same. Canada doesn't have any need of your fact checkers, Britain!
  • Cleancut360, on 07/04/2008, -3/+9where I live in Canada it can get to -50 Celsius.....every winter is Nov-may... over half the year I'm stuck looking at snow
    so global warming will unlock many new areas of our country which brings new lands to inhabit, new resources to gather

  • centran, on 07/04/2008, -4/+6If we are all "doomed" then Canada is not where you want to be... why? Mini-Ice Age.
    Here is what is going to happen. Warmer weather melts glaciers changing the salinity of the ocean. This causes the deep ocean currents to slow down, rise earlier and thus releasing their temperature further South than normal. Since heat is not being moved North by the ocean currents, the Northern areas of the Earth plummet into an Ice Age... but don't freak out too much. It is only a mini ice age.
  • DangerCollie, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2That might be a good short-term solution but when it comes to climate change you never know what you're going to get. Global warming can flip to the next ice age in pretty short order. Honestly, if it gets bad enough I don't think it's going to matter where you are.
  • pell, on 07/04/2008, -3/+7Please don't! Stay put!
  • unleashedlive, on 07/04/2008, -3/+9Yep it's great living in a city (Ottawa) where it's -40C in the winter (plus windchill) and +40C in the summer (plus humidity).

    /sarcasm
    • bundwallah, on 07/04/2008, -1/+6And so boring you have to cross into Quebec to have a good time. ;)

  • Maurice33, on 07/04/2008, -2/+5As a Canadian working with an environmental not-for-profit, I'd like to point out that not only will Canada get warmer (maybe my Mom will reconsider her absurd plan to move to Panama in her retirement after-all), but actually will benefit financially. Number one on this list is also the most ironic: as "permanent" ice in the Arctic melts, we will actually have access to what some say is 25% of the world's oil reserves: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.2 ...
    Between the Alberta tar sands, the Arctic oil, and the fact that we also have the third most renewable fresh water in the world*, this might all start to explain why our national government only recently admitted that global warming is real, and why our Environment Minister made an ass of himself in Bali last December in refusing to work with other countries to work towards a meaningful solution to the environmental crisis.

      • greenfyre, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Trust me, those of us who know a bit of history had a huge laugh back when we wanted no part of the Iraq War and the US Ambassador made a speech chastizing us and saying "if Canada gets invaded, US troops will be there."

        Of course the only country who has invaded us (1775, 1812) or threatened to invade (1865) was the US, so yeah ... if we are invaded we fully expect US troops will be here.

  • sens, on 07/04/2008, -8/+22Naw, this is ridiculous, this idea completely sucks.

    Who'd want to live in Canada? It's a hell hole!

    Did you know that once a month, all Canadians are required to perform road clean-up duty? Like prisoners? They make them wear the orange jumpsuits and everything, it's so degrading! So if you were ever wondering why the roadways are so clean in Canada, now you know the terrible secret behind it.

    Nope, don't move to Canada, it sucks. And the people are all jerks, the women are all ugly, and the beer is terrible.

    Plus, more than one in 10 Canadians are killed by moose and polar bears each year. Would you like to live with that kind of terror lurking over your shoulder?

    Just stay right where you are, buddy, that's the best thing to do.

    • CedEx, on 07/04/2008, -3/+7In Canada, in winter the people are forced to shovel snow off their driveways, only for the government to shovel snow barricades back on to the end of their driveways to prevent them from leaving. It happened to me one time! Just as I finished shoveling my driveway, and got the dogs hooked up to the sled, the plow comes rolling in and builds the snow wall.

      Who wants to be stuck living in their igloo all day? Some people have places to go, things to do. I had to wait till the spring thaw before I could head out and check my fur traps.

      If you're not prepared for this lifestyle, Canada isn't the place for you.

    On the other hand I welcome climate change, the planet will be black again, forget about developing new energy white people, you better start developing better U.V protection from the sun, and right now I’m enjoying those rays from RA. MUHAHAHA
  • siliconglen, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Another survey where sparsely populated Scotland is lumped in with the rest of the UK just because they are one political entity. Scotland would probably be in the top 3 if it was ranked separately due to its much lower population density relative to England, far higher access to renewable energy and absolutely no shortage of water either (same goes for Wales, Northern Ireland). For a survey that focuses on global warning, one would have thought it would be relevant to highlight pockets like this so that lessons can be learned for the likes of over populated drought ridden England rather than just lumping the UK together as one entity - especially if Scotland becomes independent.
    • burns091, on 07/05/2008, -0/+0Before getting overexcited about Scotland, one should have thought on why Scotland has such a low population density

      And folks like you are more than welcome to come, too.
    • masterm1nd, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4For a liberal, you sure like generalizations about people. At what point do you guys prove your own stereotype wrong?
      • arkaycee, on 07/04/2008, -1/+0Who says we liberals can't generalize? Certainly in response to generalizations, I'm up for it.
    • masterm1nd, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2But really though, I don't have time to prove everything you said wrong. But here are a couple facts. Statistically, liberals in America are wealthier than conservatives in America. Americans give the most money away, and in that number, conservatives give substantially more than liberals. So American conservatives are the most generous large group in the world, despite being less wealthy than American liberals. The bigotry thing is just ironic. And don't pretend you live in a cave and have never used air conditioning, vehicles, or bought something from a store etc you moron.
      • arkaycee, on 07/04/2008, -2/+0Yeah, so let's see ... if someone attacks with a generalization, and I make a generalization back, somehow I am bad and they are not. I seeeeeeee....

        And hell, I was only agreeing with the original poster, for my own reasons. Wouldn't you, as a presumed conservative, enjoy a country where 'most everyone agreed with you, then I could go be where 'most everyone agreed with me? You enjoy your stereotypes and I'll enjoy mine.
      • masterm1nd, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Facts and statistics are NOT stereotypes. Stereotypes ARE stereotypes. Ohh, and you ARE the parent comment.

      • RationalXubrnce, on 07/05/2008, -1/+1 Guess what the fluctuations are called? Climate change! And so far we haven't even equaled some of the warming events of the past so that would hardly make them trivial.
      • greenfyre, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1So far yes .. seen any science that says catastrophic change has already happened? So your point proves what exactly? Believe it or not, everything also still seems pretty normal in the moments before your car slams into the oncoming truck.

        The science suggests that what we are headed into a period of catstrophic climate change with severe effects for everyone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_global_war ...

        If you are aware of any science that suggests the contrary I would be keen to know.
  • ChileanGoD, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3Imagine the surprise when in the end the climate change triggers a new ice age.
    • lostlyrics, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1yeah :p imagine all the russian

  • bulleryan, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3By moving to Canada you have a one in ten chance of being part of Broken Social Scene.

    • bermudianguy, on 07/05/2008, -1/+4Rick Mercer is a genius and imo the Canadian version of Jon Stewart only funnier ..IMO.
  • minmi, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3This news maybe means that Canada likely to suffer least from global warming has done the most to cause it.
  • Ford_Prefect2nd, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Interestingly I just finished watching a National Geographic documentary (I think it was The 6 degrees that could change the world). And well the rest of the world was getting owned Canada was getting new growth and more farming... Now this report says that Canada is going to be fine, but because of environmental reasons, but because of; (the economy; natural resources and ecosystems; poverty, development and health; agriculture; population, settlement and infrastructure; and institutions, governance and social capital). Man, I'm starting to think all those natural disaster and monster movies were right, Canada is always fine.
