Frankly, I fail to see how the arrest, trial, and execution of Geoffroi de Charney in 1314 has anything to do with saving the Roman Empire, which fell nearly a Millennium before, and what part Al Gore and Carbon Taxes had to do with said execution, nearly a Millennium after.

Actually, the article was fairly well written, if a little narrow in focus. At least it got a few facts right- the Earth's Climate _was_ warmer during the Roman Era, something that has never been in dispute. And then the Climate changed, something that Climates tend to do for all sorts of reasons. There is some dispute about how much Human activity has had to do with the most recent change. The dispute is only in the matter of degree.
The Koch brothers are not fools; they found their Diogenes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_A._Muller, and he told them with great precision and certitude that the Earth was warming, and they are adjusting their long term plans accordingly.

Of course, the Brothers are into it for the money only, and since they can make money off of Climate Change Denier Idiots as well, they do so.
