The UN did not predict "unprecedented droughts" and they did not predict "an uptick in wildfires, hurricanes, and floods". The UN's hypothesis was that nations would be "wiped off of the face of the earth".
Why didn't you mention the benefits of a warmer planet? If you can't defend the UN's falsified hypothesis, then you should at least steelman how humanity gains from a warmer climate.
It seems silly to me to reject the scientific consensus on basis of a cherry-picked sensationally phrased prediction in a newspaper article from 36 years ago not having come to pass. If you read the rest of the article, you see the desertification and droughts right there mentioned next to it.

Yes, I read the part of the article where the UN's claimed there would be "dust bowl like conditions", which was falsified as well. My point remains untouched: Why didn't you mention the benefits of a warmer planet? If you can't defend the UN's falsified hypothesis, then you should at least steelman how humanity gains from a warmer climate.
