Apologies for the duplicate posting.

My question for those of you concerned about anthropogenic global warming, now known as "climate change", is this: "What is the ideal temperature, or temperature range, for the Earth?" If you cannot answer this, then how can you maintain that any change in temperature is "good" or "bad"? It's been about 35,000 years since the last ice age, and it's certainly warmer now than back then, when the upper third of the U.S. was under a mile or more of ice. Is this "good" or "bad"? The warmer temperatures of the last decade are not as warm as during Roman times. Are today's temperatures "better" or "worse" than then? With climate change there will always be "winners" and "losers", be they plants, animals, or humans. And so finally, what governmental body--be it the U.N. or anyone else--should attempt to direct human behavior to set the world's thermostat at a given level?
