True. But slow and steady doesn't help much if there isn't much movement to be proactive. And if you are being proactive, you might as well consider addressing the cause of the problem.

Its much cheaper and easier to make a new variant of a tomato, or other crops, or even to shift some production to new areas, then it is to greatly reduce CO2 emissions.

Some foods do indeed do better in warmer weather, and also plants may do better with higher CO2.

Sufficiently slow and steady will allow for natural and artificial changes in crops. Fast dramatic change will not, but if we are facing such a dramatic changes our efforts to cut back CO2 are probably going to fall woefully short, even if you get people like me to think more like Al Gore about the issue.
