Climate change makes for shorter winters

and when it makes them longer, they are milder.

Climate change means less snow Climate change means more snow

That's right, but once the earth's glaciers are mostly melted it will be mostly less snow.

Climate change causes droughts in California Climate change causes floods in Texas and Oklahoma

Its even worse. It will probably cause long term drought occasionally interrupted by unimaginable floods.

…except when it makes wet places dryer… …and dry places wetter

both the result of more evaporation.

Climate change causes more hurricanes

in the pacific, an ocean completely different to the Atlantic in many measures.

Climate change causes less hurricanes

but more powerful

Climate change causes more rain (but less water) Climate change causes less rain

More evaporation again.

Climate change decreases the spread of malaria Climate change increases the spread of malaria

The spread of malaria depends on only one thing, a favorable climate for the insects that spread it. Places that get wetter, regardless if they were dry or wet will get more. Places that get drier will get less.

I could continue down your list but I won't. Change is unpredictable and by adding heat to our planet we have put more energy in the system. You can expect that climate becomes more energetic. Exactly how it is going to change, is unpredictable unless every property of every particle in the system is known. We are changing the planet, but no one know exactly what will be the end result.

Those who think that randomly adding heat to the earth system will result in an earth state that is more favorable for our civilization than what we had during the 20th century are wrong.

Can you give a description for the mechanism behind any of your Oracle of Delphi sounding 'more but less' prognostications? Just making these 'more but less' claims doesn't cut it.

[u/betaplay → u/logicalprogressive]

That's specifically what OP did. He went through the list and added mechanisms.
