CO2 makes cold places and times warmer
https://ohioopen.library.ohio.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1395&context=spacejournal

This does not mean climate change can't result from warming, the Sahara becoming green in the past shows it can,. But this is good. Climate change is often good.

So what about the bad? Some parts of the world might become drier, or have more extreme rainfall.

So what do we do about those? Do we cripple the world's economy, limit plant growth from CO2, in order to save lives?

Or do we build dams, irrigation, and flood defences, in those countries negatively affected?

If climate change makes rainfall 7% heavier, do you save 7 lives by cutting CO2, or 107 lives by building a flood defence?

Obviously the latter. Adaptation saves many more lives than mitigation.

Let the world become greener, let it become warmer, let those parts of the world that will benefit from climate change benefit,
and let those countries that benefit help those that won't.
