necrix, for the high priests of the "church of global warming" negative changes ARE good.....simply because they make loads of money that way.
imagine it would be officially announced "ok, there is no such thing as gloabl warming", all their "research institutes" would become useless...and of course they wouldn't get any more money from the governments.
that's why they fake data, some more obvious some less....the latest "oopsie!" was produced by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change):
they always announced "55% of the Netherlands are below sea level", and that means "when the sea level rises 55% of the Netherlands will be under water". now they had to admit that it is simply wrong what they said, they corrected it with "55% of the Netherlands are endangered by floods".

always remember: the smaller the risk the more people are afraid of it, and the more catastrophic the scenario is the more people will believe in it. just ask people you know, I take any bet that most of them are more afraid from global warming than from getting AIDS or cancer.
