   Scientific consensus on global warming? Or not? Denialists
   [1]apparently abound:

     Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new analysis of peer-reviewed
     literature reveals that more than 500 scientists have published
     evidence refuting at least one element of current man-made global
     warming scares.
     ...
     Other researchers found evidence that 3) sea levels are failing to
     rise importantly; 4) that our storms and droughts are becoming
     fewer and milder with this warming as they did during previous
     global warmings; 5) that human deaths will be reduced with warming
     because cold kills twice as many people as heat; and 6) that
     corals, trees, birds, mammals, and butterflies are adapting well to
     the routine reality of changing climate

   As I've [2]said before, the weakest argument of warmenists is their
   catastrophic predictions. The notion of dramatic sea level rise is one
   of the most egregious scaremongering tactics (I'm looking at you Al
   Gore).
   I thought the fact the Romans produced wine in Britain was
   interesting, too. Read the whole thing.
