What is the consensus on the net effects of the temperature rise? It's quite clear that cold temperatures are bad for humans, and that winter lows kill more people than summer highs. Some argue that the net benefits of global warming outweigh the negative consequences.

Even the IPCC says storms have not been getting worse with the rising temperatures, yet. "no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century".

This link says that global warming has been a small but net positive benefit to humans, and will continue to be a net positive until 2080, at which point it will be a small net negative.

The debate of whether global temperature rise is more the fault of humans, or more the result of nature is extremely boring. It doesn't have any bearing on if those changes are good or bad, or if we should do a little or a lot to fight the change.

It will be the end of the world as you know it.
