NASA also employs excellent scientists who take real measurements, like these:

In fact, eCO2 even helps pine forests withstand bark beetles.

In fact, scientists call warm climate periods "climate optimums."
Plus, elevated CO2 is VERY beneficial for agriculture — a fact known to science for >100 years.

That's helping make famines rare for first time in history.

The major harms are all merely hypothetical (& mostly implausible). The benefits are real, measured & very large.
