Yeah, but who rolls out the Global Cooling Hoax everytime it snows?!?!
Global Cooling from the 70's brought to us by the many of the same scientists now claiming its global warming.. Yeah Kinda plays right into my OP thanks for helping me...
My, my, you just continue to lie. But what else is to be expected of a 'Conservative'.
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.
Figure 1: Number of papers classified as predicting future global cooling (blue) or warming (red). In no year were there more global cooling papers than global warming papers.
So in fact, the large majority of climate research in the 1970s predicted the Earth would warm as a consequence of CO2. Rather than climate science predicting cooling, the opposite is the case. Most interesting about Peterson's paper is not the debunking of an already well debunked skeptic argument but a succinct history of climate science over the 20th century, describing how scientists from different fields gradually pieced together their diverse findings into a more unified picture of how climate operates. A must read paper.
Moron, Conservative or Liberal is a classification of a political/social/financial school of thought. You want to classify me because your small mind can't live without a classification. Thats standard fair from a sheep... I am conservative on some things, liberal on some things, on some things I may agree with a democrat view, and sometimes a republican view. Doesn't make me either one, and only a fool would limit themselves like that.
Now on to your BS posted from the pro-AGW blog you cited... Might want to poke your head out of the approved algorian reading list once in a while.. Here is what the decidedly liberal leaning wikkipedia says on it....

Global cooling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Global cooling (disambiguation).
Mean temperature anomalies during the period 1965 to 1975 with respect to the average temperatures from 1937 to 1946. This dataset was not available at the time.
Global cooling was a conjecture during the 1970s of imminent cooling of the Earth's surface and atmosphere along with a posited commencement of glaciation. This hypothesis had mixed support in the scientific community, but gained temporary popular attention due to a combination of a slight downward trend of temperatures from the 1940s to the early 1970s and press reports that did not accurately reflect the scientific understanding of ice age cycles. In contrast to the global cooling conjecture, the current scientific opinion on climate change is that the Earth has not durably cooled, but undergone global warming throughout the twentieth century.[1]
Read the page and follow the link you can find links to scientific papers and bodies that supported the claim back then... So, maybe your green blog isn't the bastion of truth after all hmmm.....
Socks slapping you with your own PR is getting tiresome.
