More foliage, deserts returning to fertile state, surely a good thing, what's the problem?

Big problems. How can governments control their populations, how can they impose taxes, and regulations and restrictions.

If people are well fed and happy how can they frighten us.

In what world are YOU living? Deserts have the most fertile soil on earth. They don't bloom because there is not enough moisture; there are plenty of nutrients. Add water and you destroy the desert but have excellent agricultural land. Why do you think that so much of our produce comes from California?

Climate change is much more than CO2 buildup and warming. It also changes precipitation patterns, usually making them more extreme. Wet areas get wetter and dry ones, like deserts, get dryer. The result is increased flooding, more and stronger storms, and the spread of deserts into what had been more productive land.

You are right about CO2 enhancing plant growth. The problem is that plants don't benefit equally. The plant that seems to be benefitting the most seems to be poison ivy. A good thing?

Now, you can see the disadvantages.

Cherry picking

You fail

If that were true.

And if global warming didn't cause the sea level to rise.

Warmies tell us that the deserts are blooming, foliage is blossoming in hitherto unknown quantities.

Why is this considered a bad thing?

Were we not told about this in school 50 years ago?

Were our old teachers right in telling us that more CO2 would lead to a better, greener world?

More foliage, deserts returning to fertile state, surely a good thing?

More rainfall, surely irrigate all this new foliage, yes?

No disadvantages I can see.
