So, the Earth is warming up. Whether this is by the natural cycle of the Earth, the sun getting hotter, or by human actions, is not the topic of debate here. But... might global warming actually be good for humanity? Consider this...
The earth warms up, the ice caps melt a bit. Ok, so the oceans rise a bit, BUT... Since there's more water in the oceans, more water will evaporate into the atmosphere. The water content of the earth's atmosphere will be bigger. Arrid, hot and dry places that can't easily grow their own food will get a lot more rain, and thereby can grow more food. Global hunger and poverty ends. Bam. And, since there's more cloud cover, it will begin to cool down some more after a bit.
Just a thought... My physics might be absolutely completely off here, maybe not.
