It's also fairly well documented that the Romans grew grapes and made
wine in Britain before 410 C.E. The book I recently read about the
trend of mini-ice-ages suggests that we are, only now, back to the
point where that may be possible again, and that some of the global
changes we are attributing to global warming (a genuine phenomenon)
are in fact simply a return to an earlier planetary climate. In
addition, I mean, to the ravages of global warming.

But then we all know it's all that bovine methane and tree-created
CO2 that's causing it... ;-)
