Global Warming - The U.K. Daily Mail's Special Investigation
The Daily Mail seems to be willing to go where the American media will not.
They present the case that humans are NOT necessarily the cause of global warming and they do it quite well...

David Rose clearly worked hard on this article. It deserves to be read:
"Gabriel Fahrenheit did not invent the mercury thermometer until 1724, so scientists who want to reconstruct earlier climate history have to use ‘proxy data’ - measurements derived from records such as ice cores, tree-rings and growing season dates.
However, different proxies give very different results.
For example, some suggest that the ‘medieval warm period’, the 350-year era that started around 1000, when red wine grapes flourished in southern England and the Vikings tilled now-frozen farms in Greenland, was considerably warmer than even 1998.
Of course, this is inconvenient to climate change believers because there were no cars or factories pumping out greenhouse gases in 1000AD - yet the Earth still warmed."
