Why do we never hear about positive effects of climate change?
Shared by Carmen:
When reports about global warming/climate change/etc. are mentioned, the slant is always entirely negative. Surely changes of climate will actually be beneficial to some species or environments? I am prepared to accept that climate balance may be changing but I think the media is biased towards saying it is entirely terrible and not giving us any mention of good things that may come of it.
Having read some of the answers here, thankyou to those who have answered the question sensibly, and I’d like to point out to those who think there CAN’T be any positive effects you need to think outside the box a little. Example… decrease in polar bears is negative, but increase in “vermin” species IS positive - there is no logic to saying one species is “worth” more than another just because they look cuddly or are currently threatened with extinction.
