During the late 70s, there was a science show on PBS called “Connections”. We really enjoyed it, and last year, found that Netflix had the series on DVD. We got it to show to our kids, and lo and behold, in one of the episodes, the host mentions that we were in a period of cooling (remember this was made in the late 70s), and that scientists were in general agreement that sunspot data helped determine whether the cooling would continue.
I do vaguely remember a show by that name, I guess that was back in the days when PBS actually broadcast stuff that had some relevance. I’m sure you are aware of this but in my very humble opinion the moment the entire
“Global Warming” issue became politicized was when the ability to perform un-biased research on the topic was lost. What’s even worse is that if there is some sort of event going on that is at the root of it all (and which we may be able to do something about) then thanks largely to the Left-wing media’s disinformation campaign we are handcuffed when we try to resolve it.
