Anyone worse his Fantastic Four salt knows the earth is but an organic element in the vast cosmic ocean. Therefore should she fall in disrepair, you can bet she’ll weaken and be less hospitable to her population of antibiotic organism scurrying around like various forms of bacteria and spores.

Medical science is onto the fact viruses and cancer cells don’t like heat. The practice of putting a cancer patient in a coma and raising their temp to like 104 while injecting the Chemo supercharges the effect. The earth heats and some of it’s organisms will die as well.
Seriously, why wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect more wet weather as a result of more water vapor being released in the atmosphere along with it being introduced into the oceans when the caps melt? If there’s more water vapor won’t there be more precip? And won’t that cause the earth to, tada!, cool down? Intuitive hypothesis.
