“That Ice Age prediction was made by a British academic named Hubert Lamb. Lamb basically founded the whole Climatic Research movement when he was at the University of East Anglia. He’s the Godfather of the whole thing, and right up to his death in 1997 he still believed that we are headed for an Ice Age.”
Thanks for the info.
I do remember a Lamb being quoted in some articles back then.
The problem with most academics is they don’t realise how little they know.
East Anglia U seems to be a hot bed of leftism. Is it the Berkeley of the UK?
“East Anglia U seems to be a hot bed of leftism. Is it the Berkeley of the UK?”
Beats me. It just happens to be where the whole Climate Science thing got its start. I didn’t see evidence that Hubert Lamb set out to create a movement, he may have just been interested in looking for a reason for the Medieval Warming Period and the Little Ice Age.
But doesn’t look to me like he ever came to any conclusion on what caused those events. The possible reasons range from solar events to volcanoes. No convenient man-made causes to be exploited.
It’s interesting that Lamb is revered in the climate science world despite the fact that he never changed from his view that an Ice Age is the coming threat.
