Based on what logic? Do you actually believe warming is a linear trend and we'll heat things up to 130+ degrees?!? We're going to run out of fossil fuels before we warm even 2 more degrees (assuming we're the main cause of warming).
The worst predictions (which have repeatedly been shown to be horribly inaccurate) don't really say that. Do you even know how much land is lost if all the ice and snow on Earth melts?
We already farm the desert quite well. The ACTUAL rate of warming (not the horribly inaccurate predicted rates) isn't going to be a problem. Not to mention, diminishing returns of warming from higher levels of CO2 in the air...but I digress.
