For everything you described the opposite is also true. Now that we've largely settled on "climate change" instead of all the other catastrophic descriptors which didn't last a decade... There will be places where what you claimed is true and places where the opposite is true, if the climate changes in the way you propose. The benefits to many places will be immense, there is no rigorous science measuring at this point, because no one will pay for that investigation to take place publicly. The new paradigm with "denialism" being a career sinking position means honest appraisal is not happening publicly. The southwest US had a seven year drought through the nineties, now they experience exceptional monsoons. It is not hotter there by any measure that humans can appreciate. Data shows us it is hotter in the cities, but the climate is not warming outside of the cities once the city data is expunged. What do you do with that information? Historical data suggests that there is no safer time to be alive. And yet, people are dying from starvation, not because we don't have food, mind you. Because we won't get food to people that starve. Isn't it funny. We can focus on a future catastrophe and never have to help people or be kind now. We can be vicious and mean to people and they deserve to starve to death because they won't do as they're told and follow "the science"

There's a lot of science doing done. It's being paid for people are volunteering. The IPCC is the largest collaborative effort. They produce reports continuously that researches exactly what we're talking about. It does not agree with what you're saying. They just finished a report this year, you should read it. Fwiw, as the earth heats, I don't think you're going to find less desert, only more. I'm all for kindness, and that starts with caring deeply about climate change because the rich west will weather the storm the best. Countries in Africa have a lot to lose here as wet bulb temps begin killing people.
