 The oil companies are against global warming because that would mea=

 less oil exports because less would be needed for heating!!!!

But there would be more need for air-conditioning. My car does fewer
kilometres to the litre if I turn the air-condtioning on ...

That argument does not hold, airco is a luxury, while heating is a basic =
need.
Large parts of the world where it is hot, have no airco.
In parts of the world where it is cold _everybody_ uses heating of some s=
ort.

The oil companies don't care whether it is a necessity or a luxury, as
long as it sells them more oil.

And mortality inceases as temperatures move away from the local
average, either up or down, so air-conditioning is no less a necessity
than heating; cold kills poor people everywhere, but the rich can
afford to heat their houses, and - nowadays - to cool them.

LOL,
well, I hope by now you have noticed that I do not take all that climate
modelling serious, and neither the blaming of oil companies for, or against,
warming or cooling...
So I provided a counter argument, that may actually well be true.
How many in Africa have aircos?
How many (percentage of population) in South America have aircos?
India? Arab countries?
The whole third world?
Here is some more food for thought on 'warming' (apart from the freezing in Montana):
 Science has so many opinions on climate, this one is also fun:
