Global warming has enormous effects on the environment as well. A group of Canadian scientist researched the possible effects of the global warming and they came up with a very troubling list of outcomes. Some predictions were: *Boundaries for vegetation, wildlife and insects will shift northward by 100 to 500 km, resulting in problems, costs and opportunities. *Growth rates for trees and crops will increase in some areas, decrease in others. *Permafrost in Canada's north will continue …showed first 75 words of 742 total…

What is more, Canada is highly dependent on natural resources and the global warming would cost far more than 2 percent loss of GDP.
