Reality is even if GW were real I wouldn't give a shit. I will be dead in 100 years.
The problem most often revolves around the introduction of individuals to reality, too many are sheltered from such by self-delusions, and socio-cultural illusions.
What trillions of dollars in damage? Supporting evidence?

Your self-awareness is so refreshing, and yet you cling to the Cult of Global Warming Hysteria.
Go figure.
What trillions of dollars in damage? Supporting evidence?
Most modern studies attempt to measure the costs of future changes and average out around 1.5% of GDP globally for changes we can expect over the next century (if temp changes stay under 2ºC, or roughly twice what we have experienced due to AGW over the last 100 years). Simplistic calculations derived from these analyses indicate that AGW impacts may have cost the world's economies some 2.795 trillion USD over the last century. Of course, this is a rough and very conservative estimate that lacks accounting for the true costs of such issues as forced extinctions/loss of biodiversity, full health and disease issues and is complicated by the fact that GDP analyses only capture a fraction of actual ecomic activity.
I'm still not sure what "squandering" you are referring to, but please feel free to list and reference actual federal expenditures and the objective pecuniary assessments that you feel justify qualifying them as wastes of money.

That you deem the leading scientific institutions/organizations, research professionals and the evidence supported understandings that they support to be a "Cult," speaks more to your own "clinging" than mine.
I want global warming.
It's really cold here
Why do you wish harm and expense on everyone because you think your minute locality is a little cooler than you'd prefer in the middle of winter?

Why do you wish to cause even more harm on the biosphere of the planet? Cold kills far more than warmth. Why do you want everyone to die a cold hard death?

Please cite and reference the studies comparing current disease and climate related injury/death and planetary carrying capacity with those factors on a planet like ours with a 10-15ºC warmer than ours where that warming occurred over the period of a few centuries.

Well, during the Holocene thermal max life seems to have been pretty darned nice. The PETM which you guys like to claim as a mass extinction event was actually anything but except for some benthic forams...
This is, of course, based on the observed paleo record unlike poorly constructed computer models that give pre-determined results.
"Contrarily, planktonic foraminifera diversified, and dinoflagellates bloomed. Success was also enjoyed by the mammals, who radiated profusely around this time."

Your incessant appeals to authority are likewise indicative of your poor grasp of science.
