Most of these global warming debates begin with the 2nd or 3rd most important questions.....is there global warming ? and is it caused by man ?
Question #1 should be always; If there is global warming is it good or bad?
I maintain it is vastly more beneficial.
Logic has no place in this debate, it's about money, power and politics. Facts be damned.

Good point. I bet farmers tend to do much better during an El Nino year.
For fun, I like to ask: Since 'science' has proven that God does not exist, and that we know (with a hundredth of a degree certainty) that global warming(TM) will kill us in a few years, why can't we get an accurate 3-day weather forecast or find a cure for a cold?

I could not agree more. History shows that humans generally thrived during past warm periods and were often decimated during cold periods. The same applies to much of life on Earth throughout the history of life.
As for human industrialization causing the current warming period, the graph in Vaquero's post says it all.
