Massive increases in droughts which are already happening? Not to mention sure with the changes farming areas could get worse elsewhere and better other places

Massive increases in droughts which are already happening? Not to mention sure with the changes farming areas could get worse elsewhere and better other places like Greenland but we already have farms in those locations which were good 50 or 100 years ago, it takes time to adapt and there's no law saying things even out. Not to mention when will the change stop? There isn't any indication it will stabilize in the near future meaning semi-unpredictable changes will continue to occur. Also, living through the snowball earth era would have probably been awful for the human species. Sure life survived many apocalyptic events, no reason to think our species would survive when 99% of others couldn't.

Increase in temperature could actually increase agricultural output long term. Melting ice in Greenland and in Antarctica could provide the fresh water. Also, there's no fundamental reason why human population should increase indefinitely. Perhaps it will stabilize to an environmentally sustainable level. By the way Pangaea was mostly a desert due to it's smaller ratio of shoreline length to landmass. My main point is that I don't know which way is "better": global warming could be bad, or it could actually be good, or overall irrelevant (bad in some places, good in others). I do not know if anybody actually knows this.
