More Greenhouse gases; the Greener the garden gets buddy , more food more us .... But that doesn't work if the ideal outcome is less of US 😉

Any positive consequences of climate change are more than offset by the negative ones. So your statement is wrong.

Numerous scientific studies show that most of the effects of climate change will have comparatively little or no benefit – while, on the other hand, there is a threat of great damage and considerable costs. Of course, carbon dioxide is important for plant growth, so a higher CO2 content of the atmosphere has a certain fertilizing effect. But agriculture is heavily dependent on other factors, such as a steady supply of water – but it is precisely this that will be significantly disrupted in some regions by climate change, by increased flooding and droughts.

Thankfully we have oil and gas powered ways to obtain water. Humans are great are adapting to the climate!

I respect Peter for taking the time to provide explanations in a discussion that only shows concern for personal sentiments any. Since the thread grew this far, I begrudgingly put in the time to add another seemingly obvious argument: Creating actually pleasant living spaces.

I want to find only one among the people of the fossil fuel and nuclear power supporters who want to have their home next to running fuel generators, roads packed with combustion engine vehicles, or a large nuclear reactor and fuel deposit. These things create amounts of noise, smell and practical risk that I have never heard one human describe as pleasant, unless they have another quiet, ecologically sound retreat. Some of the more stout contrarians even talk about their own citadels.

So why advocate for building the noisy, hazardous trash no one wants to live near?

Some kind of cynical idea that the majority should or deserve to live under squalid conditions, because only exceptional merit should afford you access to an actually livable home?

I find the concern about the long term atmospheric impact of emissions almost immaterial compared to the idea that I want to shape the environment in ways that actually make pleasant to live in. A few interspersed National Parks make no livable planet, and insensitivity towards natural beauty make no strength character.

Oil and gas have certainly been important to human life and survival, but now it's time to move largely away from fossil fuels to renewable energies.

Why?

The amount makes the poison - even with CO2.

In the last few decades, due to human activities, too much CO2 has entered the troposphere of the earth, it stays there for a long time and acts as a kind of seal, so that the heat from incoming sun rays can no longer be dissipated to the outside (greenhouse effect).

The life and survival of many people worldwide is endangered by the rapid, short-term heating of the earth (droughts, hunger, natural disasters), since such rapid anthropogenic adaptation is not possible.

For this reason, we should reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gases such as methane as much as possible - #Bitcoin can help here in many ways!

Humans have never been safer from climate. Not only is co2 harmless, it is plant food! Greenhouses increase co2 concentration to increase yield.

This graphic is interesting! However, one has to take into account the damage to be expected as the earth's temperature increases - a lot of damage occurs gradually, for example the drying out of areas, the extinction of species, the drinking water problem, etc.
