Global Warming - Is It A Good Thing?

For some, yes!  At least that is the claim of some scientists who authored a publication, provocatively titled, Nature, Not Human Activity, Rules the Climate. 

We have shied away from entering the debate over global warming, and I don't intend to change that now.  However, I have noticed that nearly all the attention is on those who believe that man has created the conditions that have lead to global warming.  There are many scientists who do not support that position, but they are seldom interviewed on the nightly news.

One group of such scientists, the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change, authored the above referenced document in order to get their scientific opinions heard.  And yes, they do claim that global warming could benefit some people in some areas of the world.  For example, longer growing seasons could mean a larger food supply for some impoverished areas (their theory, not mine).

Let me be clear, I am not supporting ANY position.  The reason is simple; I haven't formed a concrete opinion that I am comfortable with myself, let alone sharing with others.  But, I do believe that both sides of the argument deserve to be heard - and not just the radicals at both ends of the spectrum that seem to dominate television and talk radio.
