I somewhat agree. A climate several degrees warmer than recent history seems like it would be beneficial; in the past, warmer periods coincided with a lush and rich biosphere. More energy is available to life. Like you, long-term, I'm more worried about the upcoming ice age than runaway global warming. We know how to fix global warming, and will in the next hundred years: Nuclear and solar. But... warming can still be very disruptive in the short term. Coastlines moving a few hundred feet might be disastrous for entire regions. Staple crops failing in one nation and blooming in another may cause refugees, famine, and war. Politics is local.
