But how do they explain this massive change in just 30 years?
I'd like to ax the Time editors to 'splain this dichotomy.
A consensus?
I would encourage folks to pick up (hard to find) a copy of The Temper of our Time by Eric Hoffer (the only American intellectual of modern times who never stepped foot within any university and was a self-taught man). Chapter two of the book is Automation, Leisure, and the Masses. A short piece you can read in fifteen minutes.
Basically, he outlines society and cultures who reach some stage of automation and people have no useful occupation. So they reach out and start to do things of no value...like talk climate control or global warming. The book was published in 1964, but it easily details how society has ‘drifters’ who find something to attach themselves to, and feel important.
Generally, the climate control crowd wouldn’t be that big of a threat....if they didn’t have the anti-capitalists sitting in the midst of their bunch. Somehow....every solution to climate control or global warming....has something to do with screwing up capitalism, jobs, the economy, or turning a society upside down. For that reason, no rational person can take anything serious.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.
3. The earth is a rock.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

For some reason, I find myself thinking about those surveys that purport to show that liberals are more educated than conservatives by asking questions that are nothing but a list of liberal beliefs presented as fact.
A few days ago, I looked at some website about global warming. Amusingly, its author attempted to show that anthropogenic global warming is real by pointing out many of the same features of CO2 that I use to argue that CO2 cannot possibly be a driver of global temperature.
17 degrees in central Va right now. That’s 18 degrees colder than “normal” for November.
Our local paper hen was filled wit people writing to the editor demanding his removal. What do Climate alarmists and radical Muslims have in common?????
73% of scientists who publish papers regarding global warming and climate are inclined to believe that global warming is real and global warming is man-made.
Actually, I think the disease of Political Correctness (PC) has destroyed their ability to think independently and rationality simply has gone “poof!”
You have to realize that these “learned scholars” are nothing more than perpetual students performing nothing useful to society and continually making new studies to support their worthless careers until retirement.
Ask any of them: “What happened to melt the Ice age?” “What caused the ice age?” “What made it melt again?” “What happened to make it come back again....” And on and on again, but you won’t get a logical answer.
The fact is that we stand totally unable to answer these questions with actually scientific facts....only conjecture based upon “studies.”
With the knowledge that they don’t actually know anything and cannot give tangible, positive proof of their claims, they might as well change their endeavors to making gold from lead.
today it is real cold here with a chance of snow...
where the hell is that globull warming when you need it??
The Weather Channel preaches GW BS all the time. They also add in liberal talking points and news. I used to watch that channel but gave it up over a year ago. It makes me want to puke listening to those morons injecting propaganda into every show. WAKE UP, AL!
They know which way the wind blows.
The AGW mantra "weather is not climate" hides the fact that climate is weather, averaged over time and regions of the earth. I think the "climatologists" who have made their living working leftists into a froth may actually not understand that the unpredictability of weather is a property of the same dynamical system they are studying coarse-grained, and think it's akin to random variation or statistical noise. Weather forecasters deal with the fact that it's a chaotic dynamical system, and that the unpredictability is not due to statistical noise, but to the nature of the dynamics and the impossibility of gathering sufficiently complete and accurate date.

Disagreement is healthy in matters scientific.
There can be no DISCOVERY without controversial ideas.
What is NOT healthy is the economic and career pressure being brought to bear on those with opinions which vary from the leadership. Enforced orthodoxy stifles creativity and works against DISCOVERY.
