Optimum would be somewhere in the range that supports human life over most of the globe. Warming might be nice for people that live in Greenland, but there are a lot of people living around the equator that are already warm enough, and there are lots of people living in coastal cities that would like to see sea levels stay close to where they are.
I don't claim to have all the answers.
Is the Earth getting warmer?
The data seems to indicate that it is.
Is human activity causing the warming?
There's strong correlation between the release of C02 and the rise in global temperatures.
Is there anything that we can or should do about it?
I don't know, but I do know that the answer to this question has nothing to do with the previous questions.
