15 thousand years ago Canada was under 3 kilometers of ice. Now it is home to 40 million people and covered in wildlife.
The human population went from 2 million to 8 billion during this warming period.
All the evidence points to a warmer planet supporting more life, not less.
A fast enough change will:
- Make places where large numbers of people currently live uninhabitable due to temperature and sea levels
- Kill off most plants and animals because the ones in a given place won't be adapted to the new climate, even if theoretically the climate in other places would now be suited to them, in a way that will take millions of years to recover from.
Simply saying "warmer is better" is utterly missing the point.
Where is the evidence that the trend is ending?
An airliner lands on a runway and smoothly decelerates from 150 MPH to zero over 10,000 feet. This is just fine.
An airliner does the same deceleration over 10 feet. Everyone on board dies in a huge fireball.
Even for neutral or beneficial changes, the rate matters.
You mean wildfire? Bad autocorrect. /s

I'd say they've been thriving.
