CAGW boffins used up all the trust and good will between science and the public. There was a lot of trust and it went a long way towards wrongly convincing the public that burning fossil fuels was causing irreparable catastrophic harm. Several years ago when I realized CAGW had no foundation in science and was in fact just another FUD-based narrative (FUD = fear, uncertainty, dread) being used to acheive political/ideological goals I suspected the only thing that would stop these criminals in their tracks would be for the climate to start turning colder. After finding there was a 60-year warming/cooling cycle that was due to change I was hopeful it would happen before it was too late.
It looks like the worm has turned just in time. Now however we have to deal with two awful consequences. The first of course is that global cooling is bad. It engenders a need for even more fossil fuel consumption and even worse it adversly impacts agricultural production through shorter growing seasons, late killer frosts early in the season and early killer frosts late in the season.
In earlier times I would have counted on science, engineering, and technology as being able to counter the effect of global cooling and thus let the march of progress and continue the global rise in living standards. Now I’m not so sure. When the global warming brouhaha fully collapses and everyone learns how they’ve been hoodwinked the public trust in science may be harmed to a great extent. The next time the science establishment declares that the sky is falling and we must do this and that to prevent a catastrophe no one will listen and the next time the impending catastrophe may be for real.
What the AGW boffins did is unforgiveable. If it were up to me every last one of them that cried wolf over AGW should be fired and have their credentials rescinded so that they may not be employed in any position of public trust ever again.
Forget late in the season, for the past few years it's frosts in June and July that are the real killers - you expect frost by the beginning of September. Well, WE do. But it's true, this is the conundrum that caused the Algore crowd to change "global warming" (didn't they CANCEL that a couple of years ago due to global cooling?) to "climate change", which convenient;y covers everything from monsoons and blizzards to traffic jams and male pattern baldness.
Greenies are phobic of change. Change equals any technological innovation our species invents in order to adapt to geological climate change (as opposed to environazi climate change). I've written several papers explaining the difference between "preservationists" - the environazis who want nothing touched even if it's a damaging invasive species - and "conservationists", who believe in careful husbandry of the earths resources - we got knocked down in the 1970s
