In a real and statistical sense the probability that all consequences of global warming, regardless of the cause, are going to cause bad things for all of even most species is astronomically low. In a real and statistical sense the probability that the consequences of global warming in the balance are going to cause more bad things than good is also highly if not astronomically improbable. We are talking about a planet and its myriad species and daily we hear prognostications that all is lost due to several degrees of global temperature change. This is possibly the greatest nonsense that has ever been foisted on a presumably educated public.
That's an excellent point and very insightful. Many years ago, I assumed that the dangers of increased CO2 levels were based upon sound scientific evidence, as a result of the media all singing the same tune. I was very perplexed why governments were not taking immediate action, such as legislating to phase out the current coal-fired power stations and banning the construction of new coal-fired power stations, and encouraging investment in electric vehicles, and so on.
However, when I began delving into the subject, reading contrary evidence-supported opinions on the internet, and books written by Professors in Geology who attempted to place the current slight warming in a geological context, I began to appreciate how biased and one-sided the manic alarmism about anthropogenic climate change appears to be.
One issue I found particularly significant, and beyond doubt, because the effect can be demonstrated in real time, is the effect that increased CO2 levels have on plant growth.
Apparently, it's been a common practice for many years for certain farmers to pump CO2 into greenhouses in order to increase plant growth.
As I understand, most plants, including edible crops as well as grasses and trees in rainforests, tend to grow more vigorously in elevated levels of atmospheric CO2, in the same soils with the same amount of water.
Apparently, the pores (or stomata) in the plants' leaves shrink in elevated levels of CO2, resulting in less evaporation.
