Climate changes can have a positive effect, if is not rapid. For example, a warmer climate could provide higher yields in norther Europe but on other areas could cause drough and famine. But it is expeted that the disadvantages are far higher than the benifits.
Many adverse effects of climate changes are now largely irreversible, and even if emissions of carbon dioxide are locked, global temperatures will remaine high until the next centuries. An international team of researchers say that "People thought that if we failed to emit carbon dioxide, the climate return to normal in 100 or 200 years. This is not true.", says Susan Solomon of the National Admistration for the Oceans and Atmospheric Admistration (NOAA) of the United Sates.
