There is a short course entitled "Global Warming" which may be of interest to
some readers of this ng.
Details are in the "Science and Nature" section.

What gets me about all this glowballs is that despite all the disasters
and the very cold and late spring, the drought of a sort and the
unusual behaviour of the N Atlantic hurricanes -such as there were this
year, the lack of Arctic ice and all the rest of it, the trees have had
a splendid time of it, the hay and wheat harvest have been good and
there is no dearth of fresh food on the shelves.*

We even managed to not have a factory farming disaster this year (so
far.)

So what is this course? A debate or a fait accompli?
