Oh no, the sky is falling (again)!!

Some quotes from a "whacko environmentalist quotes" page
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/744607/posts?page=32

The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with the increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization, mechanization, urbanization and exploding population. -- Reid Bryson, "Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man", (1971)

The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer -- Paul Ehrlich - The Population Bomb (1968)

I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000 -- Paul Ehrlich in (1969)

In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish. -- Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)

Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity . . . in which the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion -- Paul Ehrlich in (1976)

This [cooling] trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century -- Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976

There are ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production - with serious political implications for just about every nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon... The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it. -- Newsweek, April 28, (1975)

This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000. -- Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976

If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000...This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. -- Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)

I guess this time they must be right, mustn't they? Sigh!!

STOP BY AND BUMP THE FUNDRAISER THREAD-
It is in the breaking news sidebar!

We had snow this morning, I guess it must be true!

Bump to play with later.

Just what causes the onset of major and minor ice ages remains a mystery. “Our knowledge of the mechanisms of climatic change is at least as fragmentary as our data,” concedes the National Academy of Sciences report. “Not only are the basic scientific questions largely unanswered, but in many cases we do not yet know enough to pose the key questions.”

No change there then.

NEWS FLASH: Planet Earth is shrinking and if the process is unchecked within 10 years we will all be living in the backyard of some guy in India.

ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP ALREADY! Warming, cooling, shrinking, expanding which is it? The only thing for sure that is known is that the capacity to print "any-old crap" resembling science has reached titanic proportions.

Oh yea, I forgot, sinking, floating, stinking, farting, smelling, ad infinituming.

Ah yes, The Club of Rome. A group of arrogant, "Appres moi la deluge" Liberals who wanted to control every aspect of our daily lives to suit their particular doomsday theory.

In upper New York state, we are having November weather at the end of September and an early frost. As I look out the window, we have had about 1/2 inch of pea sized hail.

So much for global warming.

From about 1940 to about 1975, global temperatures decreased slightly.

"The time series shows the combined global land and marine surface temperature record from 1856 to 2002."

((((((growl)))))

Yeah, yeah ... I know. Not 'Global Warming', but I think they'd like/WANT to see this one ...

I remember this article from when it was printed and repeat it to everyone who agonizes over Global Warming.

I think it's safe to say that the climate in the future will be different than it is today. If it happens to be the same, go to future + 1.
