Alarmists' simple rule

If it's an animal or plant that you "like", a fraction of a degree of global warming will immediately kill it.

If it's an animal or plant that you dislike, a fraction of a degree of global warming will cause its numbers to completely explode.

Latest example here:
Show topics have included a decline in pest control inspections caused by the slumping housing market, advice for controlling stinging insects, and observations about rodents from a columnist of the magazine, Dr. Bobby Corrigan (who noted that global warming may be increasing the rodent population because rats and mice are surviving milder winters).
Also note that when we think we are in a period of global cooling, the above rules are immediately reversed.
