1) It's not just CO2
2) Micro-organisms like the one responsible for the Bubonic Plague like it warmer. Saw that on a PBS documentary called "Catastrophe!" And there's molds, fungus, mosquitoes...all kinds of life forms to take advantage of the additional warmth.
3) I still think it's possible to make more money without producing the greenhouse gases.
It's really kind of strange that on the one hand, if tens of thousands of scientists believe we are causing climate change and suggest that we change our ways, lots of folks are resistant to lift a finger and do anything. Those same people then say they don't mind if the climate changes for the entire planet, even if millions to billions are affected by extremes in the weather, from flooding to severe heat in the summer.
Is more pleasant weather for some in Alaska worth the cost of tens of thousands of lives in Europe and India during the recent heat waves?
As the changes in the climate become more severe, more people are becoming concerned. As they look for alternatives, new opprotunities for business will flourish.
I'll say it again, more money without producing the greenhouse gases.
