Same dire predictions, same cast of characters... only the direction of temperature has changed. What frauds they all are.

I thought I was supposed to be in a panic about global warming. Now it's cooling. Actually it sounds rather good fun - they say: "a reversion to the ?little ice age? conditions that brought bitter winters to much of Europe and northern America between 1600 and 1900 ? years when the Thames used to freeze so solidly that Londoners roasted oxen on the ice and when iceboats sailed the Hudson River almost as far south as New York City."

Perhaps, but perhaps not. The evidence has been grownig for some time that earth's climate often takes extreme swings. And the ones to COLD seem to happen pretty quickly.

I suppose since I'm in San Antonio, I should welcome some cooling, but likely as not it will come at the expense of even less rain. Meanwhile the soil in most tropical and near tropical regions is the pits, compared to the "good stuff" left over as a result of the last ice age, which. It often shallow and alkaline, or depleted as a result of being sapped by the trees of the "rain forrest" (aka jungle), but would have the distinct advantage of not being under the ice, should another ice age approximating the last several come upon us.

Still confusing weather with climate, the old fools.

Not to worry, friends. Global warming will cancel this out, the SUV's will keep rolling off the production lines and freon and carbon dioxide will made legal again.

Since we are flashing back to April 1975, I thought I'd post the top 10 songs from the week of April 26. The Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" was just entering the charts and would become the most popular song of 1975.
  1. (Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song - BJ Thomas
  2. Philadelphia Freedom - Elton John
  3. He Don't Love You - Tony Orlando & Dawn
  4. Lovin' You - Minnie Riperton
  5. Supernatural Thing Part 1 - Ben E. King
  6. Chevy Van - Sammy Johns
  7. Before The Next Teardrop Falls - Freddy Fender
  8. Emma - Hot Chocolate
  9. What Am I Gonna Do With You - Barry White
  10. Walking In Rhythm - Blackbyrds

Actually, I think the case for Global Cooling is much better than Global Warming. Interglacials run about 10,000 years and the one we're in is already past that mark. Odds are, the ice is coming, unless, of course, the extra carbon dioxide we're pumping into the atmosphere turns out to be a boon to mankind. But who can know? Certainly not the general public, which is spoon-fed politically charged bits of junk science from "scientists" motivated by pure left-wing politics.

Chevy Van - Sammy Johns

"I gave a girl a ride in my wagon, she crawled in and took control......"

Sadly, I am old enough to remember that one, as well as the rest.

"""""".....April 28, 1975 | Newsweek...."""""

Seems like a long time ago. The month that the NVA took over Saigon, and the Red Sox began their successful march to one of the greatest World Series of all time.

You're right. A long time ago. We were all a lot younger then (how nice for that!), those of us who were around then.

But geologically speaking, it was a mere nanosecond ago, and yet look what's changed. Suddenly the chicken-little-scientists are screaming Warming, instead of Cooling. A mere nanosecond has changed their mind. Could the facts have altered so much during that nanosecond? Or is it the politics?

Hmmmm... I bet: It's the politics.

(What was number 11...."Muskrat Love"?)

"To the layman, the relatively small changes in temperature and sunshine can be highly misleading."

And, to a real scientist, data points like "the amount of sunshine reaching the ground in the continental U.S. diminished by 1.3% between 1964 and 1972" have absolutely no predictive meaning whatsoever.

My body temperature diminishes by about 1.3% every damn night. And that means I'm asleep, not that the world is coming to an end.

The regions destined to feel its impact are the great wheat-producing lands of Canada and the U.S.S.R. in the North,...

Makes the wheat belt wider in the US though. Think of it as evolution in action.
