Data trends for floods, droughts, and wildfires are all decreasing with increasing CO2. Polar bear population is rising as hunting them is expanding -- but at $50,000 a head. And the Great Barrier Reef corals are at a 36-year high. If CO2 is a pollutant, then let's make more -- much more -- and that way commercial greenhouses won't have to spend extra bucks to pump CO2 into them to help plants grow bigger and faster.

And there are longer growing seasons, it helps crops grow better, forests are expanding northward, there may be more north sea shipping routes, less heating fuel needed for northern climates (where warming is more impactful than southern climates), more global rainfall. Yes, there are benefits and there are also significant negatives. But it's nice to hear both sides, not just one.
