   Why don't you start by attempting to establish as fact that your   
   imaginary warming would be bad.   
      
   The Ukraine is "The bread basket of Europe" but it is significantly   
   colder than was ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt would get two, sometimes   
   three crops in a single year. They'd plant, harvest and then plant   
   again. And if it was a good year they'd harvest that second crop and   
   plant a third crop.... with a third harvest to follow.   
      
   That doesn't sound bad at all.   
      
   A warmer climate is a wetter climate. No, deserts aren't dry because   
   they are hot. They're hot because they are try. Weather patterns --   
   and mountains cause this a lot -- drop their moisture before they   
   reach the desert. And that's why they become deserts in the first place.   
      
   Anyway:  Warmer weather, you claim. Higher CO2. Plenty of rain. Wow,   
   sounds like paradise for our food crops!   
      
   Why would that be bad?   
      
   I live in the northeast. We have what we call "Snow Birds." There are   
   people who flee south in the winter, usually Florida, to escape the   
   cold. Not surprising, our species -- OUR ENTIRE GENUS -- evolved with   
   the tropics into the sub tropics. They needed a whole lot of things,   
   the controlled use of fire for example, and some handy evolution of the   
   mtDNA, before they could survive in the colder regions...   
      
   Sorry, *We* needed those things. Us. Because we're a species, a genus   
   that arose in the tropics and couldn't push further than the sub   
   tropics without major adaptations... and you want to pretend warmer is   
   bad?   
      
   IT WAS WARMER FOR THE NEANDERTHALS! During the last interglacial, which   
   ended maybe 130,000 years ago, it was warmer. Sea level was about 16   
   feet higher. And CO2 was much __Lower__.   
      
   Wow. We debunked not only your "Warm is bad" stupidity but also your   
   CO2 myth!
