There's a related claim over at PredictionBook:

By 2100 it’s obvious to the average human that (1) Global warming is true and (2) it’s actually a good thing: Resulting in a better climate then we have had in recorded history. A stable Wet-Sahara/Warm-Siberia/No Rainforest scenario.

Out of four people that have expressed an opinion, I'm currently the only person there against this claim.

Not to be the only one expressing the opinion that it is more than just a "wild card scenario" --- but I could construct a scenario where the majority of the population of the earth is exterminated by extreme climate change, i.e. global warming.
