Death, or something like it anyway
We are warned that Global Warming is real. We are warned that such warming presents a real and imminent danger. All sorts of things have been proposed - from the reasonable to the ridiculous to the draconian - to deal with the warming. And all of this is to prevent the onslaught of a temperature rise of about one degree over the next century or so.
However, what would happen if the global temperature went up by several degrees, and the what if the oxygen content went up by 50%? What if the CO2 content of the air quintupled? Surely, all life would come to an end! Either that, or the Earth would just be a bit more like it was in the Cretaceous Period, when life did come to an end as a result of global warming, leaving the Earth a barren and sterile wasteland inimical to all future life. Like New Jersey.

You conveniently overlook the
You conveniently overlook the fact that a third of the united states were underwater at the time. Go to a science museaum and look for some displays of plesiosaurs. The tag is very likely to say "found in Kansas" down at the bottom. If they have an ichthyosaur it will probably say Nevada.
It's not that there would be _no_ benefits to global warming, it's that the drawbacks would vastly outweigh them. We'd all probably have to move to Canada, and I know you don't like that idea.
