There is a general consensus that there is anthropogenic global warming,
what is in discussion is whether it will be catastrophic. Some believe
it definitely will be, some don't and a majority thinks that we should
not take the risk. I have never heard a serious argument that it is
beneficial, other than in the pub, but I am not living in the USA.
