    If the earth is warmer, I'd suspect that there would be more time throughout the year for crop planting, and land that was previously too cold for crops would become warm enough. Since the ice caps are melting and the poor polar bears are drowning (they can swim by the way) there would be more usable water.

    There will be more desert. You try coming over to Australia and telling me that the warm middle is good for growing food.

    There won't be more usable water, there will be more ocean. More ocean = higher water levels = countless major cities having to evacuate further inland.

      So you are saying that the colder the earth the more water there will be?

          If warmer = desert = less water, then colder = ?

            Actually, warmer generally means more water, and also more desert. Let's see if you can figure this one out.

              Since you are so smart and scientific, why don't you explain how it works. What happens to all that water that evaporated? Does it stay up in the sky? With warmer temps and a greater surface area of water what do you think is going to happen? Lots of droughts or lots of rain?

                Lots of storms. Places already affected by drought, which are usually a distance away from the ocean, will become warmer and drier, and increase in size. A lot more water will evaporate from the ocean surface, and combined with the heat you'll see an increase in tropical storms, which will pound the crap out of anywhere near the water. They don't usually stray far from the water.

                      Whenever there is a hurricane that hits the east coast, we in the Midwest always get the leftovers. So you must be somehow mistaken.

                          Yeah, it got a lot of coverage last week. An expedition from some institute or college in California is sending a ship out to study it - that was the reason for the publicity. I can't remember who it is that's behind the expedition.

                                Its too much work to maintain several conversations at once with someone who is going to disagree with me no matter what I say about anything. Besides, I have more entertaining things to do.

                                  Every video a link to is sold as a real factual documentary. Its kind of a copyright issue for them to be on youtube, but that doesn't make the documentary any less valid.

                                        Nature will balance out the ecosystem. Quite frankly I don't give a damn if people starve, as long as they stay the hell out of my life they will starve in peace.

                                          As long as they are not you eh? If ordinary people don't matter to you, why do you keep banging on with your conspiracy theories? After all, if you are right (a big if) then it will also affect those people you don't give a damn for. So why are you bothering?
