Well, rising sea level is not good for coastal communities. According to the TOPEX/Poseiden satelite altimetry, sea level has risen an average of 3 mm per year since 1992. This doesn't seem like a lot, but many coastal communities are very close to sea level and that is an average. Individual tide levels seem to increase more than that. The rate at which it is rising has also increased in recent years.
Decreasing snowpack in the mountains in California are already causing vineyards and orchards to go broke, not to mention causing rationing of water in some parts of California and higher water costs for everyone.
Ragweed grows faster in warm, high CO2 situations than the plants that normally outcompete it. We have already seen a rapid rise in ragweed numbers here in the midwest. It sucks for people with allergies.
Global warming also causes sporadic weather patterns. Weather becomes less predictable. Severe snow storms with little or no warning in the winter, tornados at unusual times of year, big fluctuations between hot and cold.
Global warming is occurring at a faster rate than ever before in history. It is certainly difficult to predict exactly what will happen, but it is not difficult to see that it will be bad.

It’s really not a laughing matter global warming will depending on the degree cause massive crop loss and desertification and massive dying of marine life. Just think about all the political lines
that will be redrawn and the flooding along seacoasts the majority of the worlds population is reasonably close to the oceans. If people are thinking it means wearing shirtsleeves in Alaska on a November evening they are sadly mistaken about the consequences.
Again depending on the temperature rise and the time frame of the rise it will almost certainly mean death, pestilence and wars

Well for starters what gets hot must get cold after the warming comes an ice age. But don't listen to Al Gore is so full of himself.

All things in moderation.
Too much warmth is not a good thing.
Just as too much cold is not a good thing.
Your ignorance is over in the "too much" area.

Historically every time we have gone through periods of warmth civilization has prospered. And despite "global warming" and melting of polar ice, sea levels have not risen.
