Perhaps it would be useful to examine studies of potential effects of climate change such as the US National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change. See: The "Vanishing" National Climate Change Assessment, Part 1: The Administration http://www.climatesciencewatch.org/index.php/csw/details/vanishing-na-part1/ Do you suppose the Bush administration is suppressing this report because it concludes that climate change would be a good thing?
