A few weeks back I saw a thread claiming that global cooling is being slowed. I thought that was a clever spin, now.It's GlobalClimateWarmerCoolering now.

In the early 70's scientists were telling me and my fellow weekly reader classmates, the planet will die by 2010 because of pollution, then it was going to have another ice age, then some other human caused disaster like no trees. Guess what? They were wrong EVERY time. Al Gore is a shill and so is anyone who touts his point of view.

Scientists weren't predicting an ice age in the 1970's...
Did scientists predict an impending ice age in the 1970s?
By the way......lemmie pose a question to you Christian Conservatives.......
Didn't God state in the Bible that we are supposed to be stewards of the earth and take care of it?
If so, why do you continually ignore the environment? If we're stewards, shouldn't we IMPROVE it?
What did that Bible say about bearing false witness and worshiping graven images?By the way......lemmie pose a question to you Christian Conservatives.......

You gotta love CON$ervative rationalizations for their deliberate distortions. There were 7 scientific studies that predicted global cooling, and those 7 speak for ALL science and there were 49 scientific studies that predicted global warming but those 42 speak for nothing scientific.In the early 70's scientists were telling me and my fellow weekly reader classmates, the planet will die by 2010 because of pollution, then it was going to have another ice age, then some other human caused disaster like no trees.

Read your sources. You are a joke. It clearly says the media was spreading this around. Weekly Reader was a small newspaper in classrooms across America. They cited scientists in their articles. NOTHING I STATED IS NONFACTUAL IN ANY WAY.
Of course, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for the media to be wrong NOW would it? Where is your search for truth there Chris?
And another one misses the point: the media got the science wrong then, too.You gotta love CON$ervative rationalizations for their deliberate distortions.

What 1970s science said about global cooling
A new paper exposing the myth of 70s global cooling
Over time, William Connelly has been steadily documenting 70s research predicting global cooling. It's a rich resource but as he admits, could be more accessible. Now he has collaborated with Thomas Peterson and John Fleck to publish The Myth of the 1970's Global Cooling Scientific Consensus, due to be published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.
The paper surveys climate studies from 1965 to 1979 (and in a refreshing change to other similar surveys, lists all the papers). They find very few papers (7 in total) predict global cooling. This isn't surprising. What surprises is that even in the 1970s, on the back of 3 decades of cooling, more papers (42 in total) predict global warming due to CO2 than cooling.
The 3% isn't cumulative, you linear thinking nitwit....Plants absorb that CO2 for nourishment.Interesting way of spinning it.
3% per year which is cumulative which is why we have almost doubled the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere in the last 200 years.
Apparently someone need to peer review your posts.
Of course it's cumulative.
That's why we have doubled the level of CO2.
We are emphatic that you can't spell.REAL scientists submit their work for peer review - political hacks submit op-ed pieces to political organs.
I'm STILL waiting.
REAL Scientist work for NASA and they say the place is getting cooler for the last three years and part of an overall cooling trend. I'd repost my sources from the last time you brought this up, but it did no good for you then, so I'll guess the same results for this time.
And you are still full of shit. NASA is quite emphatic that the warming is continueing, and it is dangerous to our society.
NASA - Global Warming
Global Warming Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of Earth's surface. Since the late 1800's, the global average temperature has increased about 0.7 to 1.4 degrees F (0.4 to 0.8 degrees C). Many experts estimate that the average temperature will rise an additional 2.5 to 10.4 degrees F (1.4 to 5.8 degrees C) by 2100. That rate of increase would be much larger than most past rates of increase.
Scientists worry that human societies and natural ecosystems might not adapt to rapid climate changes. An ecosystem consists of the living organisms and physical environment in a particular area. Global warming could cause much harm, so countries throughout the world drafted an agreement called the Kyoto Protocol to help limit it.
Causes of global warming
Climatologists (scientists who study climate) have analyzed the global warming that has occurred since the late 1800's. A majority of climatologists have concluded that human activities are responsible for most of the warming. Human activities contribute to global warming by enhancing Earth's natural greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect warms Earth's surface through a complex process involving sunlight, gases, and particles in the atmosphere. Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are known as greenhouse gases.
The main human activities that contribute to global warming are the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) and the clearing of land. Most of the burning occurs in automobiles, in factories, and in electric power plants that provide energy for houses and office buildings. The burning of fossil fuels creates carbon dioxide, whose chemical formula is CO2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that slows the escape of heat into space. Trees and other plants remove CO2 from the air during photosynthesis, the process they use to produce food. The clearing of land contributes to the buildup of CO2 by reducing the rate at which the gas is removed from the atmosphere or by the decomposition of dead vegetation.
A small number of scientists argue that the increase in greenhouse gases has not made a measurable difference in the temperature. They say that natural processes could have caused global warming. Those processes include increases in the energy emitted (given off) by the sun. But the vast majority of climatologists believe that increases in the sun's energy have contributed only slightly to recent warming.
The impact of global warming
Thousands of icebergs float off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula after 1,250 square miles (3,240 square kilometers) of the Larsen B ice shelf disintegrated in 2002. The area of the ice was larger than the state of Rhode Island or the nation of Luxembourg. Antarctic ice shelves have been shrinking since the early 1970's because of climate warming in the region.

Continued global warming could have many damaging effects. It might harm plants and animals that live in the sea. It could also force animals and plants on land to move to new habitats. Weather patterns could change, causing flooding, drought, and an increase in damaging storms. Global warming could melt enough polar ice to raise the sea level. In certain parts of the world, human disease could spread, and crop yields could decline.
It's a damn poor mind that can think of only one way to spell a word.We are emphatic that you can't spell.REAL Scientist work for NASA and they say the place is getting cooler for the last three years and part of an overall cooling trend.
