The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with the increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization, mechanization, urbanization and exploding population. -- Reid Bryson, "Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man", (1971)

The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer -- Paul Ehrlich - The Population Bomb (1968)

I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000 -- Paul Ehrlich in (1969)

In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish. -- Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)

Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity . . . in which the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion -- Paul Ehrlich in (1976)

This [cooling] trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century -- Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976

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 production could begin quite soon... The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it. -- Newsweek, April 28, (1975)

This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000. -- Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976

If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000...This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. -- Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)

The average temperature in my hometown last week was 65 degrees F. This week the average is 75 degrees F--a difference of +10 degrees F in one week. Based on this data, what will the average temperature be next week? A global warming conspiro-theorist will posit that the temperature will be 85 degrees next week, 95 degrees the week after, 105 after that and so on until the year 2085 when the temperature reaches ~43,000 degrees F.

I still remember a mathematical regression someone plotted of the estimated value of pi [once 22/7, then 3.1416, etc.] I forget when he calculated that pi would equal three.

<< I see it's time to trot out the bogus global warming "models" again. Just last week I was thinking "whatever happened to the 'global warming' scam?" And now this.

For those of you that didn't catch this the first time around, the "model" works like this:

The average temperature in my hometown last week was 65 degrees F. This week the average is 75 degrees F--a difference of +10 degrees F in one week. Based on this data, what will the average temperature be next week? A global warming conspiro-theorist will posit that the temperature will be 85 degrees next week, 95 degrees the week after, 105 after that and so on until the year 2085 when the temperature reaches ~43,000 degrees F. >>

Brilliantly demonstrated.

Except that having, in a very good imitation of the global-warmers' pseudo "science" style, arranged the appearence of "evidence" to fit your predetermination, you forgot to add, "Quod Erat Demonstrandum," [QED] at the end.

LOL! It would appear so, but I'm just an engineer that recognizes that the earth's weather isn't an open-loop system.
