I think there's a fair chance that within 5 or 10 years the media will be trying to convince us that the world is experiencing dramatic cooling, that polar bears are freezing to death, that we're all going to die, and that we need to cut waaaaaaay back on carbon emissions in order to save the planet.

And a certain percentage of the population will buy it.

Fair chance ?? How about absolute certainty !!

They did it before. When I was growing up, they taught us in school and I heard on the tv that global cooling was reaching critical stage and that we were on the edge of an ice age.

Imagine my surprise when a few short years later, everyone (well not everyone) preached global warming..

A whole bunch of horse manure.

--nope--the greens and other closet Reds -such as Algore- will claim that the measures they introduced "saved" the earth, so we need to do everything else that tell us to do--

-and given the present sorry state of intelligence and knowledge in the Western world, we may just do that--

I seem to remember all that hype when I was in high school in the late 70s! What goes around comes around I guess, in more ways than one! :-)
