Would global warming necessarily be bad for agriculture?

A few years ago I read an article about a guy who was buying up land in Greenland and farming it. With the increase in temperature, it was now possible to get a harvest.

The difference in temp, about a degree and a half was what it took to make the difference. A degree and a half lower, you wipe out the Vikings. A degree and a half more, the farms go back into production.

I figure for every square meter of land lost in the Maldives, we gain thousands of square miles and tons of additional harvest in Canada, Russia, and the whole Arctic opens up to become productive and livable. All that on a degree and a half.

The area for growing corn is expanding every year, both of the Dakotas and Canada are seeing more and more acreage of corn, and increased yields year after year.

The reason isn’t a two word answer, those two words being ‘Global Warming’.

No, the answer is one word; Monsanto.
