Unlike you I don't fear Global Warming. I embrace it. We have millions upon millions of acres of land that will become arable if the earth would warm 5 degrees

Well this is unusual.. someone admitting climate change is real and man-made made and "embracing it".. I'm fully on board with climate control but we aren't there yet.

I guess you are missing my point when I said, "I embrace it"

What I meant by that is I think Global Warming is a good thing.

We currently have over 7 billion people on the planet. To continue to be able to provide for larger population growth we will need more arable land.
To get that land we need a warmer planet.

5 degrees warmer would open up over 3 times as much arable land than we have currently.

What we have to hope never happens is another ice age.
The human population will starve in an ice age.
