Oh, global warming is a fact all right: the mean temperature of the earth has 
risen by a whole 1.4 degrees F (!) in the past 100 years.

Of course, the planets in our solar system have also "suffered" rising 
temps...for various reasons...none of which have anything to do with human 
activity...as far as we can tell. ;-)

Funny thing is that Greenland has been pretty much uninhabitable, and still 
is, since about 1400, the onset of "The Little Ice Age", whereas for several 
centuries (986, at least, to 1400) it was not.
