Less people dying sounds like justification enough to me. Maybe more people die from drought and heat and bad weather that may or may not be caused by global warming, than who die from cold and isolation and icicles falling on them? If we could be sure about that I guess that'd change my priorities. But I'm saying the winters in my part of the world suck. My friends are cold all the time, it's a bother to get from point A to point B and a lot of energy is wasted on shoveling snow around and keeping houses hot. It's lifeless and dull. I'd much prefer to be wrestling with floods and hurricanes, as long as the temperature stays above 0�C. Or even above -25.

Just thought I would offer a rarely seen perspective on the issue.
