A warmer enviroment will also mean a drier environment. Sure your plants have plenty of CO2 to breathe but they'll also be struggling to get their necessary water. |
No it doesn't at all, a warmer environement leads to a wetter environment as the processes of evaporation and evapotranspiration and so on act much quicker due to the atmosphere having a greater capacity for water vapour in the air, and the warmer temperatures being able to evaporate the water quicker and more easily... Like this is basic science, how do you not know this?

Were any of these predictions published in any peer-reviewed journals?
You'll be happy to know alarmism and just the same, denialism can both be disregarded safely. Neither of them are a substitute for good scientific research published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Here is an article published in the American Meteorological Society in September 2008: http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/2008BAMS2370.1 . It takes a look at a number of articles that predicted global temperatures from 1965 to 1979. Some papers predicted cooling, some were neutral, but the overwhelming number of papers predicted global warming. It seems average global temperatures are indeed steadily climbing as the NOAA attests: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-global-temperature |
The NOAA takes their data from the GISS, who massage and manipulate their data to get a warming trend, and have recently resorted to increasing the weighting of ship based temperatures (and if you know anything about ships, you should be able to see how this alone should bring absolutely monstrous margins for error into the data) and sea bouys, just to pause bust the data. It's all a load of shit the GISS, and unfortunately so much of the climate science education uses this crap without even explaining their methodologies and end dates used.
