CO2 Benefits Exceed Costs by 50:1 or More

“With warmth and CO2, both wild plants and agricultural crops flourished after the 17th century Little Ice Age (LIA). Without the warming and added CO2, crop yields everywhere would have been lower, and cold, dry conditions would have made agriculture impossible in many parts of the world. Without the warming and added CO2, there might have been no Industrial Revolution… because it depended in part on rising crop yields permitting millions to move from farms to factories… Even if an industrial era had managed to materialize, a growing population would not have been able to flourish without an expanding agricultural sector. But many tropical countries would have gone through severe droughts and famines, as they did during the LIA, resulting in the collapse of major powers and people groups. A barren, cold world in which many people faced death during winters. That’s what the 19th century would have been like without the warming that ended the LIA. Now, life expectancy is at its highest. Humanity thrives as never before, buoyed by booming agriculture, innovations in healthcare, and rapid progression of commercial and industrial technology. We’ve also harnessed energy from available natural resources, which aided in the growth of civilization globally. None of these things would have been likely, at least at the scale on which they’ve occurred, without global warming.”

“Satellite observations show that leaf area index (LAI) has increased globally since 1981 [and] CO2 fertilization… contributed to 47.0% of the [increase].”

Could global warming be good for us? Scientists find hotter summers could mean LESS [sic] floods

“Globally, 5.4 million die each year from cold-related deaths, while only 311,000 deaths are heat related… [I]n the U.S., on average, 1,330 die from the cold each year [and] studies have shown that extreme cold is deadlier than extreme heat [with cold killing more than twice as many Americans as heat does].”

Why climate change is good for the world

The scientific consensus is that warmer temperatures do more good than harm

“Satellite observations show that leaf area index (LAI) [a.k.a. surface vegetation density] has increased globally since 1981 [due, primarily, to increased CO2 emissions].”

NASA [Yes, under Obama]: Carbon Dioxide Fertilization Greening Earth, Study Finds

“Significant land greening in the northern extratropical latitudes (NEL) has been documented from satellite observations during the past three decades… Our findings reveal that the observed greening record is consistent with an assumption of anthropogenic forcings, where greenhouse gases [predominantly CO2] play a dominant role…”

“Contrary to model predictions, the satellite data showed increases in vegetation growth on up to 50 percent of previously vegetated areas, with a decrease in only 4 percent.”

[Yet Another] Study shows that increased atmospheric CO2 is greening the deserts

[OK, why is all that CO2-created greenery so beneficial?]

“... although 700 million people worldwide still suffer from persistent hunger, according to the United Nations, hunger has declined by two BILLION people since 1990. Additionally, research shows there is now 17 percent more food available per person than there was 30 years ago.”
