Global Warming - The Death Toll is Up! The Death Toll is Down!

A recent study in Britain suggests that thousands of people could die during a very hot summer due to global warming in the next few years. On the other hand, thousands could be saved each year due to warm weather during the winter.

In the United States, it is believed that 40,000 lives a years might be spared due to warmer winter weather.

With such choices between heat stroke and frostbite, the statistics tend to show that warmer annual temperatures, on balance, favors fewer lives lost due to weather related conditions.

Further cries of joy may be heard from the business world, as it is suggested that heating fuel costs will go down, perhaps $12 billion a year, with increased temperatures.

So is global warming actually a good thing or is the information in the following news article slanted, biased and dare I say lies... Read it, think and observe for yourself before you decide whether we should continue to cut back on greenhouse gases or not.
