Brits Ready Crops For Global Warming

    Global Warming is not fact. Correlation does not imply causality. The fact is that there is insufficient data to draw any type of meaningful conclusion about long-term trends in temperature or climate. Besides, even if Global Warming is in fact occurring, it's as likely to be cause by the decline in piracy on the high seas as anything else.
