Great quote. Are you of enough years to remember the “global cooling” scare of the 70’s?

Here’s an excerpt from a relevant article at: http://www.businessandmedia.org/specialreports/2006/fireandice/fireandice.asp

“It was five years before the turn of the century and major media were warning of disastrous climate change. Page six of The New York Times was headlined with the serious concerns of “geologists.” Only the president at the time wasn’t Bill Clinton; it was Grover Cleveland. And the Times wasn’t warning about global warming – it was telling readers the looming dangers of a new ice age.

The year was 1895, and it was just one of four different time periods in the last 100 years when major print media predicted an impending climate crisis. Each prediction carried its own elements of doom, saying Canada could be “wiped out” or lower crop yields would mean “billions will die.”

Just as the weather has changed over time, so has the reporting – blowing hot or cold with short-term changes in temperature.

Following the ice age threats from the late 1800s, fears of an imminent and icy catastrophe were compounded in the 1920s by Arctic explorer Donald MacMillan and an obsession with the news of his polar expedition. As the Times put it on Feb. 24, 1895, “Geologists Think the World May Be Frozen Up Again.”

Those concerns lasted well into the late 1920s. But when the earth’s surface warmed less than half a degree, newspapers and magazines responded with stories about the new threat. Once again the Times was out in front, cautioning “the earth is steadily growing warmer.”

After a while, that second phase of climate cautions began to fade. By 1954, Fortune magazine was warming to another cooling trend and ran an article titled “Climate – the Heat May Be Off.” As the United States and the old Soviet Union faced off, the media joined them with reports of a more dangerous Cold War of Man vs. Nature.

The New York Times ran warming stories into the late 1950s, but it too came around to the new fears. Just three decades ago, in 1975, the paper reported: “A Major Cooling Widely Considered to Be Inevitable.”

Again. I am not talking about “catastrophic” warming, of which there are no credible predictions that are backed by science.

O.K., picking up where I left off last night.

I probably should have gone into much greater detail with respect to the genesis of the global warming scam. I seized upon Al Gore as a shorthand for the issue. He’s a player, but he didn’t start it.

You have to go back at least to the beginnings of the U.N.’s IGPCC and it’s efforts to make a political/economic issue developing countries have with modern Western countries into a “global climate crisis.”

The real core of the scam is that the ultimate goal of those pushing carbon taxation is a global tax to redistribute wealth from Western countries, particularly the U.S.A. to the so-called developing nations, the “have-nots.”

Now I don’t have time or the space here to go into detail, but there is a wealth of information available on the IGPCC and it’s role in pushing this scam on the world.

Well, as far as theories of the end of the Universe go, that doesn’t sound too bad. Hell of a thing to prove, tho…

/don’t let them immamentize the Eschaton…

Then please enlighten us, pimped out. Please explain the theory involved.

They’ve told us their theory before. It goes like this “winter still comes every year so global warming is a myth; I’ll believe you only when there’s no more such thing as winter.”

Which is like the captain of a ship saying he won’t believe it’s sinking until he starts drowning.

The far lefties have no conception of this theory.

Then please enlighten us, pimped out. Please explain the theory involved. And when you do cut and paste the explanation, be sure to include a link.

Or, is Sen Inhofe using Senatorial abortion of Earth’s future fertility?

Is conservatism like a huge practical joke being played by one half of the world on the other?

It certainly feels like some cosmic fist up our collective a$$ at times, doesn’t it? It

There’s no theory that would rule out the possibility of wackos getting degrees or even tenure. Indeed Tipler is one of the cases that proves they do.
