Advantages of Global Warming
The more energy you pump into the system (energy = temperature, system = Earth) the more chaotic the system becomes. That is to say, in the short term, when you disturb an oscillating system (the Earth’s weather) you can get more erratic swings, until the system settles into its new equilibrium. This will cause greater unevenness in the heating of the surface of the earth, in turn causing greater wind speed. Conclusion: wind power becomes more viable, the more oil we burn.
Ed to add: The above is sarcasm. However it is useful for dealing with people who think that any individual data point has anything at all to say about global warming and climate change.
