@AndrewDessler I have four questions for you, @AndrewDessler.
1. When did it become acceptable to blame ARSON on climate change?

@AndrewDessler 2. What is the cost of globally DECLINING fire prevalence?

@AndrewDessler 3. How do you value a GREENER Earth?
@AndrewDessler 4. How do you value ending the Third Horseman of the Apocalypse, FAMINE?
Rising CO2 has increased crop yields ≈20%, and made crops more drought-resilient. That's 2 of the factors helping end drought-caused famines. (Others include ag tech, hybrid & GMO seeds, transportation.)
@AndrewDessler Drought-caused famine has always been a great scourge of mankind. It's why the Israelites ended up enslaved by Egypt.
The global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed ≈3.7% of the world population. (Compare to 2.7% for WWII, & 2% for 1918 flu pandemic.)
