New yorkers won't have to go to Florida during the winter.

The advantages of those fuels are low cost and plentiful supply. Of course that supply is temporary. Since they are not renewable fuels, we will be forced to stop using them because they will simply run out. This alone is a good enough reason for us to work to find other energy sources.
The advantage of global warming is obvious if you consider the opposite, global cooling. Cold weather kills more crops than hot weather. Predictions that hot weather will cause drought are not good science. Some of the hottest places on Earth are also the ones with the most rainfall, such as the Amazon rain forest. And some of the coldest places are the driest, like the south pole. The ice there has built up over millions of years of very light snow fall that does not melt in summer. The massive amount of ice already on the ground gives the illusion of plentiful snowfall, but it is only an illusion. Places in New York get more snow in 1 year than the south pole gets in 100 years.

Sure, global warming has advantages. Look at all the people who have made careers of making dire predictions about it, and the political power gained. Nor are these fuels non-renewable. We know they are being renewed even now, but we have no idea of the rate of renewal, just as we have no idea what "reserves" are truly left.

The fossil fuels are recycled through the plants . Yes it is a big advantage to the rich and the money they are making over it.Gasoline is up 1 dollar just due to this hype and all it does is put my money in his pocket.

Global warming will be good news for places like Russia and Canada which have much land that in unusable due to cold climate. Also, the increase in carbon dioxide is a good thing for crop output and yield. Plants use CO2 like we use Oxygen.

gasoline easy to get but hard to remake. natural gas almost everywhere but can be deadly.
non-renewable well like nuclear reactor fuel life but impossible to get rid of safely.
global warming, nothing really but at least you won't have to worry about being cold.

Sure. If the poles melt, there might actually be MORE land on the earth for life forms to live on. Also, if the poles melt, there would be greater volume of liquid water on the earth for life forms to live in. Also, global warming will kill lots of people, which will probably help wildlife too. Also, warmer air will result in faster winds, so plants can spread their seeds farther.

cheaper gas bills in the winter, possibly give chance for new life to grow on mars when it gets warm enough. not earth life, thats wouldnt be fair. um venus is in a runaway green house effect so its coverd in clous, thats why its so bright, suns light reflects off of it, so maybe we could go from, a pale blue dot to a brite shine in the sky for the martians

People will take more care of the world and people will communicate more to help stop this problem.
