The global cooling alarmism of the 70's led to the creation and massive funding of climate science. When the global cooling thing didn't pan out, these scientists were left with two options: 1-vouluntarily put themselves out of work by saying "nothing to worry about folks" or 2-keep themselves employed and expand their field of science by creating a new global warming hysteria.
No government financed scientist has ever voluntarily put himself out of work by admitting they are unneeded. They all create panic and postion themselves as saviors.
Don’t forget about the 4,000 acres of “rain forest” burned up every day by farmers in the Amazon, the massive failure of the “acid” rain scare, and lest we forget, the growing hole in the ozone layer. Aren’t we all supposed to be dead by now? Not that I’m complaining, mind you...
Let me guess -- massive funding by the U.S. gov't? Would this have been sponsored by Democrats, by any chance?
That’s a pretty interesting scenario. Do you have documentation on the funding of climate that came about after the 70’s? I’d sure like to be armed with such data...
