Try to put some rose colored glasses on and look at the positive. The glass is half full (but you won't get any ice in it). :-)

At the peak of the Cretaceous transgression, one-third of Earth's present land area was submerged.[4] That is one of the things that the "Global warming will be good for us" crowd doesn't seem to want to get. In any case, it won't happen while they are alive. And of course most people live on coastlines which will be the first places to be submerged and/or have their water supplies suffer saltwater intrusion. But they also don't want to get that precipitation patterns will change, with people who are dependent on glacial flows of water SOL. That includes the western US as well as people living downstream from places as diverse as the Himilayas and the Andes. Those three places alone includes more than half of the human population on earth. And while the others--especially in Canada and Russia--may look at it and say that their agricultural production will increase from longer growing seasons and adequate water supplies, they will, if they do say that, be just a mite shortsighted, as there will be a general breakdown of political stability throughout the world as millions of people become refugees around the world due to water and food shortages. But not to worry--that will more likely be their grandchildren and great grandchildren's problem.
