Depends on where you are. I'm sure Russians or Canadians wouldn't mind warmer weather.

Warmer planet does not imply just warmer weather.

The average of (4, 5, 5, 6) is 5. The average of (1, 2, 9, 9) is 5.25.

Are folks in Siberia big fans of the 100F days and the massive wildfires they've been having this summer?

While most Canadians would love warmer weather, we also are strongly against climate change. It is just such a bag of negative consequences for the whole planet.

Would they mind losing a lot of trade because other countries have to deal with climate change and hence can't spend more to buy Russian or Canadian products?
