RE: Studies prove link between human activity and extreme weather events

Well, much of the "vast expanses of Canada" you are talking about are either thin acidic soil or permafrost that will melt into a bog and are not all that suitable for agriculture. And the winters will still be cold with short days, just not quite as cold as they are now.
They are not deforesting the Amazon for corn. In Brazil they use sugar cane for ethanol production. It's a much better feed stock for that than corn is. I'm not particularly in favor of that either.
I had a sense of irony when I read your line "So why is it that all change is bad?". If change isn't bad then what's wrong with changing from fossil fuels to renewable sources for our energy? By most accounts I've seen that's easier and cheaper than adapting the the climate changes we will get from anthropogenic global warming.
