How would global warming affect the settlement patterns of Canadians?

It would be a issue for only some areas of canada. It will have good effects for some places, but not for all of them.

I think in the Northern areas of canda (territories, and in the north of the provinces) would be affected majorly by global warming, but in a good way. This is because the population density would be more spread out. Since people don’t like the north because of the cold, now that it would be warmer there more people would settle there. But, in some areas it would be affected in a negative way. This would be the warmer areas such as the interior plains and some spots in the Canadian shield. This is because now that they are even hotter, some people would not like to live there. People like the heat, but not insanely hot.

Cordillera- this area will be affected greatly due to technical climate. This areas population density will go through the roof. This is because since it is warmer here now, more people will be attracted here. This area has a high population density now, even with al the rain and it having a mild climate. Now that it has an even hotter climate, lots more people will come here. Also there is lots of natural resources in the area which will help the population density grow alot.

Interior plains- This area will explode with people. This is because now in the north it will be so much more warmer there, people will spread out more throughout the interior plains. This will be good because since the area is such a high population area, it will help more smaller towns all over the Plains increase in people and will help it prosper.

Canadian shield- This area will be affected greatly. The poulstion density will rise alot. This is becauae the cnadian shield has a mild climate. Now it eilk have a hot climste so LOTS of people will be attracted here. Also they are right on hudson bay so they have a steady water source. Also it is a really nice place to live and the heat will make it even nicer.

St.Lawrence lowlands- This area has the highest population density due to it being near rivers and having a good climate. This area will not be affected too much but, it will lose some of the density due to people moving to other areas because it’s warmer there.

Appachilan- this area will be affected the least because the population density there is pretty low. More people will go there, but it won’t be a huge change because now all the other reigons are also going to get more people there. Also the change won’t be so drastic that people will REALLY want to go there.

Arctic- this area will be affected the most with the climate. This is because no one is there now because of the cold. Now so many more people will be attracted there because of the heat. Also this will help this reigon because more people being there will help the economy.
