Re: selective breeding and genetic engineering, that's going to happen regardless of the atmospheric carbon levels But not to tailor crops, for areas that are currently permafrost. There are billions of acres of permafrost bogs/peat in Northern Canada. They are even a concern, for as they thaw, they offgas. Think of these areas as you would think of coal, in terms of CO2 being released. But! That peat and bog is immensely fertile. If, outside of the growing season length issues, warmer temperatures come, then that is very, very rich, fertile farmland. But we need specially tailored crops, which would never be created otherwise.
