while in the context of the ongoing climate debate we continue — albeit with some embarrassment — to employ the scientifically meaningless phrase «climate change», we recognise that, in principle, a planetary warming to fend off otherwise imminent glacial inception, together with CO2 greening (the latter offsetting loss of vegetation footprint, the only real environmental concern) is having broad positive impacts on society, including the global economy, natural resources, and human health.
