As I've stated multiple times now,
humanity has greatly benefited from warming as evidenced by every measure of wellness. Where are the studies showing ways in which humanity will benefit from more warming? When science is approached such that the conclusion is assumed, what good is the science?
You didn't simplify your position.

I crossed out the extra stuff instead of leaving it out. There are two points remaining.

What's good at some points in time and conditions is always good at any other time and conditions?

Do we have a way to test the hypothesis at full scale?
