    After all, if people die around retirement age, you donâ(TM)t have to pay pensions.
    But we have to pay for their medication, hospital bills and transplants and probably life long medication.
    They don't contribute to society, don't consume, don't spent their money on vacations etc.

    The daughter of a retired loses a grandpa/grandma who can take care for her kids (hen she is in hoospital or on a trip) etc.

    solar, biofuels, hydroelectric, etc., they all have have significant environmental consequences.
    Hard to quantify ... and depending on the region, biofuels e.g. have no real impact on Germany. We are reducing down farmland since decades, some gets converted to biofuel production, a few idiots even place solar panels on perfectly suitable farmland (to get boni from the EU for cutting down farm land)

    I gave the latitude frim my mind. So being 4 - 5 degres off is not as bad ad the original poster who was 15-20 degrees off.
    Latitude 45 is already perfectly farmable. So global warming does nit bring any more farmland at latitude 45.
    Latitude 60 will always be bad for farmin: to long frost times, after thawing to long muddy, tundra and woods, usually yield back farmland. Edge cases like you example about Fairbanks don't contradict that.
    Try that in the middle of Siberia ... no way you will soon farm grain there.
    Then on the other hand: you lose the current grain reagions in the USA, and you want to trade that for new grain regions in Canada?
    You seem to be rather stupid, which your nitpicking about my 4 degrees 'mistake' clearly indicates.

    Oh, and most plant growth is mostly restricted by the length of the day, or the total length of the growsing season. The srticle you link especially mentions: water, and the right fertoizer.

    So good luck with your 'expansion of the growing zones theory'.

    What Islam is incompatible with is not democracy, but liberalism, tolerance, and equal rights.
    Again: that has nothing to do with Islam. But the "mind set" of the people living in such environments.

    Some males hate woman, only want to fuck/rape them. That the a good deal of them live in islamic countries is not the fault of Islam. It is the fault of their mothers/fathers that they have no respect for woman. Same for any other issue. (And: 1500 years ago, it was the same in Europe or later America, Christians raped and fucked everything they could. No one in our days would call "Christianity" incompatible with democracy etc. )

    I have almost certainly been to more Islamic countries than you ever will.
