The only people who dislike this weather less than farmers are:

"Then think about the rest of the world - places where they may hit 37C more often instead of 30C and where hundreds of millions live by subsistence agriculture."

I thought the crooks are screaming about a DEGREE or TWO, now you are up to 7?

There is quite a difference between "an average" and a "range of variation". While 2 degrees is talked about as an average global temperature increase this will be made up of cold spells and hot spells. So not unlikely to see more spells of temperatures +/- 10C off "normal" averages. If you think hot and dry won't affect you ask Burnt how the corn crop fared in Ontario last summer.

That is good news. sounds like the weather for the last hundred years or so on the prairies. There is no normal temperature here, only average
Crops burn up every now and then, but it has been a while. Note the record world wheat stocks for example
I will not debate that human activity has changed the weather patterns. But if it is to be assumed that humans have hastened change and now think that they can fix it then arrogance is alive and well in the scientific community.
