Not to mention that the “harm” is not just theoretical, but imaginary. Warm periods of recorded and paleo-history have been boom times. Ask the Ice Man, Romans, Vikings, and Medieval Warm Period (and Renaissance) inhabitants.

If there is no such thing as global warming there is no need to disprove its effects.
If the historic data is unreliable how do we know what was the climate for Ice Man or others?
Still it is pretty interesting as there a only rainbows and flowers sticking from every statement that is supporting GW.
From my point of view a Cyprus summer is pretty hot ~40c. If you were living here, you might change your mind about wanting a warmer climate.
And btw green-illuminates have faked up some models that predict warming will not be so beneficial for plants, so probably Africa will get more rocky than green if we wont submit our freedoms immediately.
Re: the Ice Man: he was walking through a pass which has been under deep glaciation until recently. And was not heavily clothed. There is ample evidence that those passes were open then, and are opening again, and have periodically been open. This is similar to the uncovering of large tree stumps by retreating Greenland glaciers; there was clearly a warm period when the trees grew large before being buried. This kind of “historical” evidence is about as solid as you could possibly ask for, and is widely available. The MWP was never in doubt until it became an inconvenience for the hysterical assertions that we are in or moving into “the hottest climate ever”.
As for the 40°C in Cyprus, the lower latitudes of the planet vary less than the poles, by a large factor. Warm eras have less ice near the poles, and you get vinyards in Scotland. Cold periods have ice year round down to the Med and Allegheny. Pick one.
