If anything, Global Warming would increase plant life, thus ending famine.

Well in his defence, yes greenhouses are great for growing plants (in cooler climates), and the fact that the world's population will decline may also help considerably!
Unfortunately.
Deserts will increase, low lying land will be flooded by salt water or the salt table will rise or the farmland will be reclaimed by city folk fleeing the coastlines. The monsoon's may fail. Plants do not relocate quickly. The climate will change globally and plants themselves may not adapt, destroying entire ecosystems. Bush fires will increase destroying yet more vegatation further increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Don't forget that the polar ice caps will melt, thus introducing fresh water into the oceans which will shut down the Gulf Stream (I think that's right, I'm thinking of the stream in the Atlantic that moves warm water from the equator up north) and screw up the worlds weather patterns.
Of course, rising sea levels and greater storm activity will wreak havoc on fishing industries world-wide, buy, hey, why quibble.
I don't know if it's global warming, but something is sure as heck increasing fundies' stupidity and their capacity to write absolute garbage.
Let's not worry about the plant life that can't tolerate extreme heat, or which will be inundated.
The regions of the world currently most vulnerable to famine and flood are the ones set to be harmed yet further by rising seas and extreme weather events. Areas presently able to cope are also likely to be at greater risk.
You might to think about that a little, if you're on the Gulf Coast, or live further inland in Texas or Tornado Alley.
Since you're just wrong, I won't make fun of you. Just correct you.
It isn't that we don't have enough food. It's that we can't get the food to the starving people either because they're being murdered and African warlords won't let us give them the food, or because we don't have the means to transport so much so far.
Also, global warming will try up crops, just making deserts. Not to mention killing off farm animals.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
