Great find.

ROTFLMAO .. thanks for posting. The stuff the watermelons believe is incredible - particularly when one considers the forecast for just tomorrow is usually not much more accurate than a coin toss.

Ain't the printing press a bitch? All your moronic, political rants just sit there, waiting to show the world how dumb and dishonest you really are.

Looks like we've come full circle.

Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change

Interesting. The folks clamoring about global cooling back in the 70's understood that influencing political leaders was important to their cause just as the democrat party had been duped by the global warming crowd today.

No big deal. The tird world scam artists and America-haters realized all of a sudden that the opportunities for bribes, kickbacks and payoffs as well as weakening America were far better going with the attack on warming rather than the attack on cooling. Back up campaigns include attacking America and/or seeking bribes etc. because it is getting much lighter during the day time and attacking America and/or seeking bribes etc. because it is getting much darker during the night time. Changes in gravity are also on the list. Future meetings in Japan will probably result in protocols or treaties covering reductions but may be postponed 'til Gore or Clinton is elected President (if you know what we mean).

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. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.

You would think that after 25 years they would come up with a different call to action!

In what surely enters the Freeper record books for threads on a 27-year-old article (now 3) - you might enjoy reading additional comments here and here.

One interesting thing this article does not mention is that these 'scientists' asserted the causes of the cooling are the same causes that are now supposedly causing the warming.

It's all about money. Create a crisis and write a grant request and hopefully reach tenure before anyone discovers you're really just an idiot.

This is wonderful. The penchant for scare tactics among journalists seeking material and scientists and self-perpetuating government agencies seeking funds should be taken into account at all times.

The environmental movement is simply kid-friendly, warm and fuzzy marxism. It's a way to dress up communism for the next generation. These people care very little about the actual environment, it's stripping capitalism that is the goal.

[white trash redneck]

Thanks for posting this. I remember reading this article, or one like it, way back when, and always kicked myself for not being able to find it when the enviro-wackos started yammering about global warming.

[Tribune7]

I love it.

You know, with the last age (which ended just 10,000 years ago) looking like this:
you would think that people would welcome some global warming.

Great find...The world has ended so many times now, I've lost count.

[techcor]

Excellent find bump. I remember the "Ice Age" scare of the 70's but it is good to have the source.

[PatrioticAmerican]

When I was growing up, that's what was being taught in schools: Global cooling. It's funny how the eco-terrorists have changed their minds.
