Convince me that global warming is a bad thing and not simply a rebound from the ice ages which almost destroyed all plant life due to the lowest recorded CO2 concentrations during that time.

It's neither good nor bad, it's just a natural thing that happens on earth.

The published research agrees it will be a net negative for man:

>not simply a rebound from the ice ages
We're still in an ice age, perhaps you mean glacial period? We warmed out of a glacial period 10,000 years ago. According to the natural cycle during an ice age we should be slowly cooling over the next tens of thousands of years but instead we are rapidly warming on top of the interglacial warming from 10000 years ago. So not only is it not a "rebound," it's the exact opposite of three cycle of "rebounds."

>which almost destroyed all plant life due to the lowest recorded CO2 concentrations during that time.
Low temperature and low moisture are the limiting factors for plant growth during glacial periods, not CO2. See how many plants you can find in the Arctic/Antarctic despite high CO2 levels.

>muh coral reefs
The negative effects on flora and fauna are purely speculative and have no basis in reality. And considering how efficiently we're already driving extinction I don't think we need any help from +4C.
Coral reefs is probably one of the worst examples since it's been demonstrated that the corals recover quickly after bleaching events and that the crown of thorns is a natural phenomenon that helps rejuvenate the coral reefs after it cleans through them. Not that anyone knows this because such news is kept out of the mainstream. I only know because I had a lecturer who did such research and was fired from the Uni for daring to insinuate that the coral reef doomsaying was bullshit money grubbing.

>muh worsening disasters
Also a load of shit. Might as well believe in religion which has been calling for such events for thousands of years if you're going to believe that a few degrees in temperature fluctuations is going to bring about Armageddon.

>muh coastal cities
So what? Coastal cities can get fucked. They don't produce anything, they're just consumers. Increasing sea levels and heat is a good thing for all inland communities which struggle without rain, literally decreasing the supposed drought which is going to wipe out all the farms.

Not at all, there are several studies based on real world example of low pH environments:

Canada will be the Islamic republic of Chindia by then, and no one is going want to risk getting hit by rockets, so its best to just to start giving Polar Bears citizenship and overpopulating them in Canada to prevent this.
