>Global climate change will make much of the world barely habitable, and devastate crop yields

There's no empirical basis for that statement, the people behind it have been making similar apocalyptic predictions for decades that never materialized, their models have no predictive power.

Most high-quality climate models have been if anything overly conservative in their predictions and things have been going at a much accelerated rate. So which doomsday models can you point to that have not materialized?

I don't understand where that comes from. So you are saying the climate is not changing rapidly while people who studied it all say it does?

Mollusks in the ocean are producing shells slower because of the increase in carbonic acid. Nighttime temperatures are observably higher in the tropics.

You're say things that even climate denialists aren't claiming are true.
