I have no problem believin that the earth's climate is changing, in fact I think it pretty much always is. Where I happen to live the warming then pause then maybe warming again scenario has played out in my lifetime since the hard ass winters of the 60's to the much lighter winters of the 80's and 90's to winters somewhere inbetween since.
I accept that the planet is changing and we certainly could be part of that. My question is : So what?
Plants love higher CO2 concentrations in the air
We can almost certainly produce strains of staple crops that can handle the heat.
While sometimes seas become desserts the over riding principal is that a warmer world= a wetter world
Even if some crop land is rendered non commercially viable by CC it is likely that at least that much land to the north and south will become commerically farmable.
So what it the big deal so to speak? That leaves rising seas which are only a factor in limited areas and we have time to adapt to.
Where am I wrong here?
