A warmer climate could prove to be beneficial

I haven't blogged on global warming for a while, so here is a good article by Dr. Richard S. Lindzen (Professor of Meteorology at MIT) summarizing some of the common misinterpretations of global warming data and addressing other fallacies of global warming alarmism.
The current alarm rests on the false assumption not only that we live in a perfect world, temperaturewise, but also that our warming forecasts for the year 2040 are somehow more reliable than the weatherman's forecast for next week.

Many of the most alarming studies rely on long-range predictions using inherently untrustworthy climate models, similar to those that cannot accurately forecast the weather a week from now.
