Global warming is unfortunately very real, ask the poor pals whose houses in Northern Canada or Alaska starting sinking into mud that was for ages frozen before. Or look at how the navies rally to make use of the almost ice free seas in the arctic region. Those are very good indicators since they are easy to characterize, and studied for many decades.
But back on topic: Here some more interesting reading from a very credible source: U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) working out data for the Congress:

I assume this report is probably going to be cited soon or already on many of the major US news papers. In Germany it made it right away into them. In summary: "Damage due to filesharing strongly exaggerated, data sources and methodology used for estimation (by MPAA etc) not faulty and not meaningful". Enjoy the reading!
