In the long run global warming may prove a boon to certain other species if the resulting devastation cuts down the other forms of environmental devastation perpetrated by homo sapiens. The key problem is that through "civilization" we have separated ecosystems in disconnected chunks so it is difficult for those ecosystems and their plant and animal inhabitaans to migrate with the changing conditions, a problem exacerbated by the speed of the current changes which are occurring orders of magnitude faster than past climate changes. Not to mention that as these changes really take hold the cost in human sufferring and death will be immeasurable. Are you in an area vulnerable to hurricanes or tornadoes? Does any of the water you use in the summer originate in vanishing montane snowpacks and glaciers? Are you vulnerable to diseases and animal pests that are extending their range thanks to global warming? Do you invest in any companies that are vulnerable to any of these factors, e.g. Canadian oil sands which likely will in a decade or less run out of water to use in their oprerations? If you answered yes to any of these questions, or dozens of similar ones, you are vulnerable to the effects of global warming regardless of questions about its origin. LC
