Deserts are mostly an ice-age phenomenon. The positive effects of increased evaporation and precipitation eventually dominate as temperatures rise. Check with the humidity rises in northern Australia to see the effect - or see:
"Sahara desert goes green, thanks to warming"
Increased precipitation may also mean more hurricanes and other destructive storms. :(
Regardless of whether the ultimate effects of global warming are a net positive or negative, there are likely to be costly disruptions, as areas currently good for agriculture and/or habitation cease to be good for them, even if they're replaced by other areas.
Exactly.
I'm sure we can both produce a long list of positive and negative effects of global warming. Picking out items from the "negative" list does not constitute much of an argument - you have to look at the big picture.
