If global warming (whatever the cause) really kicks in there'll be a
lot more
important things to worry about than the above - like famine in europe
and
mass migration north from africa and the med region for example.


given the range of projections that might not happen; you might see
the warmer weather of 1-2 degrees increasing food yields.


If that were the case then shouldn't the med and northern africa be
the bread basket of europe?


africa in a bit of a mess due to a variety of problems, all man made
but none GW related.

The med does produce a lot of food but as far as i'm aware GW hasn't
kicked in as yet...
At least not to the degrees you've been talking about.

GW could cause changes but given that the med is a tourist hot spot
why would it being a degree warmer on average cause mass migrations?
( assuming the low end of the predictions for the next 100 years).
