Evidence that the "heat island" hypothisys is wrong, big blow to anti-warming proponents.
Of course its too late to save the planet, but comeuppance is always a bonus.

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |

Interesting article, particularly about the grape harvests. I hadn't thought of something like that as any sort of a gauge.
We could not save the planet, anyway. All we can save is ourselves, at best. The planet will continue on, with or without our species. If we go, something will come along to replace us, and so it will be until the Sun itself will no longer support and encourage life on Earth.
But not to worry; the Rapture will haul the worthy devout aloft, leaving the rest to sweat it out. That's what I'm told, anyway. 
Oh, goody! I got to use the new smiley!
