Of course. It is common sense. Most heating will be beneficial. Increasing CO2 will act as a fertilizer for plants and reduce the amount of water that plants need. Benefits don't fit the agenda of the alarmists so they completely down play them and exaggerate costs and consequences. Bob acts like we are going to burst into flame any day now and those living on the coast will be drowned. I for one can move though I am not a nomad. I am not stupid enough to build within a few feet of sea level either. Their positions are utterly unfathomable to me.

Sure. Compare the times when the Earth was cold to the times it was warm.
The plague swept the world because temps got cooler, the renaissances started because the temps got warmer.
Today, we are discovering new species at a record pace. Fossil records show that life dies when temps get cool.
We're on the cusp of a new modern renaissance, we just don't know it yet.
Unfortunately, many people are scared of change.

increased temperatures cause more evaporation cause a moister atmosphere causes freak weather patterns causes floods and storms.
Yes the mean rise in temperatures will make northern and southern regions eaier to live in, That will be counterbalanced with more drought and desrtification in equatorial regions. Immigration and war will mean no-one will really 'win'. And then there's the floods and storms.
Cheer up, there's always Permaculture.

The problem is that our modern society is ill suited to cope with major climate change.
Our massive coastal development and intensive agriculture systems will be severely damaged, costing us many hundreds of billions of dollars.
It's not like we're nomads who can simply pick up and move to the best spot.
