If there is one thing the climate science community is good at (/ guilty of that is) is rewriting history. All of the historical temperature records have been adjusted to increase the global temperature trend by 0.6C (of the total 0.7C trend that is.)
Just look at the Newsweek article temperature chart and try to find that trend in any of the newer “adjusted” trend lines. Actually don’t bother, you won’t find one.
The unfortunate reality is that this global warming nonsense will die down in a few years as cooler and cooler temperatures prevail each year, and it becomes quite clear that we are entering a new and economically disastrous cooling period from reduced sun activity. If you think corn, wheat and soybeans are high now, just wait...
STOP IT!!!...
“a survey of scientific journals of the era showed that only seven supported...”
- - - - -
A worthless document is one that provides only conjecture to prove anything.
I suppose the 1970s seminars I attended at an Ivy League university regarding the seriousness of the threat, and how we needed to figure out how to induce Earth to capture and keep more energy [a leading candidate was spreading carbon black on icecaps and glaciers] were mythological, too. Those seminars were given by leading scientists, and attended by leading scientists. I can’t recall a single person at them objecting to the premise that we were quite likely in the midst of a possible global cooling emergency.
Looks like they missed the REAL global warming period from around 1910 to the 1940’s. How did we ever survive it then???

Yes, and Al Gore’s intelligence is a myth for the ages.
“seven supported global cooling, 44 predicted warming and 20 others were neutral”
but those, politically connected, seven represented the consensus reported by the media, while the 44 and 20 stayed quietly, or were kept quiet, out of the public fray over it
todays gw ‘consensus’ is managed the same way today
the gw promoters often speak of the 1000s of scientists who support man made gw - the majority of whom are not climatolgists or meteorologist, among whom there is no consensus
I think the best approximation of the truth is that temps fluctuate, and when they have gone one way for a while -- which they certainly did go down, c. 1933-1978, and up, mostly, 1978-now, people claim that it will go that way forever)
We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.
The climate is going to change. You heard it here last.

It is NOT a "popular myth", however, that the Mainstream Media was "predicting an 'imminent' ice age."
Climatologists may return to your rooms. The media will remain in detention.
I think you’ve posted this to the wrong guy. I never wrote that. For one thing, I was alive in the 1970s and recall very clearly all the talk about the “new ice age.” I wonder what’s going on here.
Ah.... I see that this is an article I posted more than one year ago, and you and I are on the same page concerning global warming - climate change propoganda. If you could endulge my curiosity - how did you get to a thread from February 2008? Thanks and stay warm. LOL
And as a sidelight, the six feet of snow in my yard is finally starting to melt.
Really?
