Well, increased extremes in temperature and precipitation has been one

Horsepuckey. Back in the 1970s, the 'panic du jour' was global COOLING.


Thanks for confirming that your knowledge is based on nothing more than
media speculation, which DID do write-ups on the subject in the 1970s.

...but that wasn't what the science was telling us. If you think that
you have a SCIENTIFIC reference for claims of global cooling in the 1970s,
feel free to go to the following web page:

http://www.wmconnolley.org.uk/sci/iceage/

and tell William about it. He'd be interested in knowing about it.

The problem is that the very same people who tried to choreograph our
collective guilt trip in the 70's over global cooling are now trying
to do the same thing with global warming.

Is "the very same people" meant literally, as in "I have names of
people that said 'cooling' in the 1970s and 'warming' in the 1990s", or do
you mean it figuratively, as in "it's THOSE people - you know the ones".

Surely you can understand
the cynicism. Indeed, the global cooling zealots were actually
putting their money where their mouths were WRT energy conservation
rather than consuming 20x the amount of energy that the average
American uses in a year like the head global warming disciple does
today. Which movement had more credibility?

Hey, can I join "The Movement", too? Where do I get a membership card?
Do I get a discount at Walmart? Or perhaps at LL Bean?

Or do I just get assigned to it by you?
