The global warmists will go down in history as idiots and fools like the so-called scientists who warned in 1910 that Halley’s Comet would engulf the Earth in cyanide gas.

The global warmists will go down in history as idiots and fools like the so-called scientists who warned in 1910 that Halley’s Comet would engulf the Earth in cyanide gas.

Unfortnately, it takes History at least a third of a century or so to expose fools.

Even then, the liberal news media will simply refuse to even mention the old foolishness to the new generation and to the tens of millions of older Democrats who will then be panicking about why the U.S. Government is not spending trillions of dollars to prevent the Yellowstone supervolcano from destroying North America.

Here is a PDF copy of Newsweek’s 1975 panick mongering story on the future disaster of golbal COOLING.

"The Cooling World" - April 28, 1975 Newsweek ................ 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 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. ....... "Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies..........."

***********

Journalists have warned of climate change for 100 years, but can’t decide weather we face an ice age or warming

Meanwhile, the liberal news media completely ignores the correlation between solar activity and climate change since you cannot blame the U.S. for it and solar activity can't therefore be used to push their political agenda.
