It doesn't really matter tho, since global warming is good and should be hoped for.

You missed the point about the decomposers as well. Soil is not dead. Mycorrhiza mycelium fungi and other decomposers make soil rich, even in the desert. Living crusts called cryptobiotic soils are actually abundant in arid regions.
Keep praying for climate change. Your wish seems to be coming true. Sarcasm is easy. Solutions to this complex problem are not. You are not helping your cause.
