If we can cause and reverse global warming, at what temperature should we maintain the Eart

Many places on Earth would benefit greatly from a warmer planet. There will always be some winners and some losers. Who gets to decide?h and why?

There is no stable temperature here on earth unfortunately, In fact if we were to to look at the average temperature over earths history from the start of life to now we would see that in fact we are currently far above the mean temperature,as we are in a period known as Interglacial. This means the natural state for most of the planet is far colder than we currently enjoy. Even if we did manage to control the temperature in the short term fluctuations in our orbit and the suns output would mean temperatures would still fluctuate, so we really must just leave well alone and just adapt to whatever the climate brings.

74 is a little cold.  I say 78 F.  This will allow for a cool tropic breeze to be truly the perfect temperature.  This is the average winter temp in Hawaii

It is pretty certain that we humans can cause global warming, however, given our current situation, we are almost totally unable to reverse the effects of global warming. However, if we could change Earth's temperature through global warming, we shouldn't. While it might might benefit a small portion of the population, it could hurt the rest greatly. For example, during the last ice age, the average temperature of the Earth was only 4-9 degrees lower than the average temperature now. This means that the Earth is very attuned to the slight changes in the temperature and can change in very unexpected ways. Also if we were to change the temperature up instead of down, it would most likely increase the strength of all tropical storms and hurricanes as it warmed up the water. So, either way, whether you believe we can reverse global warming, it would be in the best interests of all to simply leave the Earth's temperature where it is.

74 Degrees Farenheit because this is standard room temperature :).

If there are millions of people around the world in coastal cities who would lose their homes, due to rising sea levels, due to increased glacial melt, I would call that such of a temperature too warm. I saw an article today even on Bangok's situation. It's quite dire if these predictions are true. I think that a small benefit to some people in colder areas, that global warming would bring, is not worth the millions who'd be displaced by warmer temperatures.

I'll set my Earthostat to 70 degrees. Warmer than that and you're likely to overheat exercising.
