The World is colder than it was 15 years ago. A truly scary situation/trend.

And no matter what you've heard, the '70s notion of global cooling has been disproved, and scientists are now at a consensus that the earth is warming. Any evidence?

Maybe it is there to demonstrate The Rule Of Forty Eight: All scientists are blind.

"..and scientists are now at a consensus that the earth is warming." Ask Galileo what he thinks about that consensus thing.

Regardless of the petulant fist-waving in the article, the placard shown in the picture is essentially correct. We are in a warm interglacial period, and we are still in an ice age. The planet is currently in its “icehouse” phase.

What is scary is if you look at the ice core data the last few cycles have seen an interglacial maximum a little cooler than the preceding max. Makes you wonder if the cycles will end with earth a snowball.

Thanks! Matt Ridley discusses that also, in his book "Genome". Here's a reprise:
"For thirty years, nobody disputed this 'fact'. One group of scientists abandoned their experiments on human liver cells because they could only find twenty-three pairs of chromosomes in each cell. Another researcher invented a method of separating the chromosomes, but still he thought he saw twenty-four pairs. It was not until 1955, when an Indonesian named Joe-Hin Tjio travelled from Spain to Sweden to work with Albert Levan, that the truth dawned. Tjio and Levan, using better techniques, plainly saw twenty-three pairs. They even went back and counted twenty-three pairs in photographs in books where the caption stated that there were twenty-four pairs. There are none so blind as do not wish to see." (Matt Ridley, Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters, p 23-24)
The correct number of chromosomes could have been discerned, one would think, during the almost 35 years involved in the events above. The most daunting realization is that the double heliacal form of DNA was discerned in 1953,
two years before this chromosome count was corrected.

I saw in high school one of the old bio books that gave the number of chromosomes as 48. It was an old one out of service but not yet destroyed. I counted the chromosomes in the photograph. Sure enough, 46.
Just because a person with some letters after his name writes a paper stating something doesn't mean it is true. Like global cooling about the time I saw that book or global warming now.

They might want to keep that exhibit around when global cooling comes into chic vogue again.

“The World is colder than it was 15 years ago. A truly scary situation/trend.”
Then we need to act now, as it is certainly human caused.
We must cut our carbon footprint, enact cap and trade, and otherwise destroy our economy.
