In fact http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11462-climate-change-a-guide-for-the-perplexed.html gives a pretty good summary of much of the anti-global warming FUD.
Regarding the OP: I like meat. I'm going to continue eating meat. In fact, I'm all in favor of the rest of you becoming vegetarians, as it leaves more meat for me to eat.

Your link
"the planet as a whole has warmed since 1998, sometimes even in the years when surface temperatures have fallen"
BBC link posted earlier: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8299079.stm
"For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.
And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise. "
Christ I hate people who think they know about global warming.
Can we just accept that it's beyond our ability to predict climate change?
