The main problem I have with the global warming hype is that we're supposed to ignore the historical facts of prior warming periods that are just like this one (and by contrast how much better life is during the warm periods than the historical cool periods).
Well if it is modern global warming you want look no farther than the Rachel Carson book THE SEA AROUND US and the 1953 movie by the same name. She also wrote SILENT SPRING witch destroyed the DDT industry.
A quote from the movie..
Commentator: “It has been established beyond all reasonable doubt that the great Arctic change of climates started somewhere about 1900 and has spread so rapidly that small glaciers have already disappeared, and the big ones are melting at a startling rate.”
