Please don't take HN threads into classic flamewars. Nothing good is going to come of it, only repetition. Repetition is the enemy of curiosity.

Not really good for us or for a stable climate, but probably good for plants. Plants love CO2

We might have some cold winters, but global average temperatures are going up, a lot. Globally we are in no danger of not being able to grow food due to cold temperatures (though local effects from disrupting ocean currents are still very possible ofc).
