Rising CO2 levels mitigate drought impacts. Elevated CO2 (eCO2) helps plants use water more efficiently, by improving CO2 stomatal conductance relative to transpiration. It's especially helpful in arid regions & during drought. Here's a paper about corn:https://t.co/lZ0wL4Gnvn

Plus, elevated CO2 is VERY beneficial for agriculture — a fact known to science for >100 years.

Ending famine is a VERY Big Deal, comparable to ending war and disease. Compare:

\u25cf 1918 flu pandemic killed 2% of world population.
\u25cf WWII killed 2.7% of world population.
\u25cf The global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed 3.7% of world population.

The imagined major harms of manmade climate change simply are not happening. For instance, sea-level trends haven't changed significantly since the 1920s.https://t.co/cUTnRhnLnQ

The major harms are all merely hypothetical (& mostly implausible). The benefits are real, measured & very large.

Feedback loops created by permafrost melt & wildfire destruction represent just a few of the terrifying effects of climate change on boreal forest ecosystems, which are particularly at risk to rising temperatures. ⚠️🔥

Massive wildfires are already here.
More forest fires are burning in the Arctic in recent years than any time in the last 10,000 years.
🔺these massive arctic fires are showing worrying signs of becoming a vicious cycle
Wildfire-related carbon releases from permafrost regions will quadruple within decades.
Arctic wildfires, impacted by global warming, are in turn contributing to more climate breakdown.
🔺An increase in boreal & tundra fires in the future will enhance permafrost thawing.
Below I am adding to the list including several newly documented mechanisms.

Several primary impacts relate to altered soil & plant chemistry & biology:
1. Disruption of the phosphorous cycle - the second most vital element for plants after nitrogen
2. Decreased content of key nutrients in major
3. Reduced chill hours required for many plants to bloom normally in the
Other additional primary impacts include:
4. Fossil fuel pollution impacts on crops - this is not a result of climate change per se, but is included since it is due to the same root cause (fossil fuel use):

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE
2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n
3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)
(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)
4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.
For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3
5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
