Does anyone besides me see the power of stupid people (MSM) in large groups?
I don't know how any logical-thinking human being can ascribe to "global warming." When I was a kid, we got "The Weekly Reader" in school, and I remember an entire issue was devoted to the IGY ~ International Geophysical Year. I remember also, very clearly, that one of the results of their findings was that winters would be longer and colder for the next 50 years, and summers would be shorter and cooler.
In researching this, I find no mention of that. I suspect I'll have to check and see if The Weekly Reader still has that issue in its archives.
The Cooling World
Newsweek, April 28, 1975

Here is the text of Newsweek’s 1975 story on the trend toward global cooling. It may look foolish today, but in fact world temperatures had been falling since about 1940. It was around 1979 that they reversed direction and resumed the general rise that had begun in the 1880s, bringing us today back to around 1940 levels. A PDF of the original is available here.
A fine short history of warming and cooling scares has recently been produced. It is available here. — D.D.
There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production – with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth. The drop in food output could begin quite soon, perhaps only 10 years from now. The regions destined to feel its impact are the great wheat-producing lands of Canada and the U.S.S.R. in the North, along with a number of marginally self-sufficient tropical areas – parts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indochina and Indonesia – where the growing season is dependent upon the rains brought by the monsoon.
The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it. In England, farmers have seen their growing season decline by about two weeks since 1950, with a resultant overall loss in grain production estimated at up to 100,000 tons annually. During the same time, the average temperature around the equator has risen by a fraction of a degree – a fraction that in some areas can mean drought and desolation. Last April, in the most devastating outbreak of tornadoes ever recorded, 148 twisters killed more than 300 people and caused half a billion dollars’ worth of damage in 13 U.S. states.

"Does anyone besides me see the power of stupid people (MSM) in large groups? " Remember your history? Remember how the leading experts all claimed the world was flat? That the earth was the center of the universe? That Y2K was going to doom us all?
Nothing has changed. GW is just the latest idiotic fad with today's jet set, nothing more.
