That's the problem with a simplistic climate story. Climate change is chaotic. The deserts may go green while the oceans die. Increased storms threaten your house. That's not to say that some things about climate change aren't beneficial, it's that, on balance, most of climate change is bad, at least from a peaceful human civilization perspective.
