1. NOT the whole world is heating up. It varies and some places are cooling, but no, generalise.
2. Areas like Russia and upper Asia will provide more arable land, these countries will experience a boon
3. The problem isn't the world, the problem is the sky high population growth in Africa/Middle East. Google "Population of ANY AFRICAN/MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRY"
- aplummer 10y agoIncorrect, The whole world is heating up except <0.1% habitable area, definitely not enough to make the statement above incorrect See: http://climate.nasa.gov/interactives/climate-time-machine http://climate.nasa.gov/interactives/climate-time-machine
