Since the 1970s, the mainstream scientists have consistently predicted warming. They've been proven shown to be correct. Cronkite, not being a scientist, is irrelevant.
In contrast, the deniers have been predicting a new ice-age pretty much non-stop. They've consistently been failing for decades running now.
When you get it all right for decades running, you earn credibility, so the mainstream climate scientists have credibility. Deniers have failed at everything, so they have no credibility. They can complain about how their lack of credibility is due to the GreatSocialistConspiracy keeping them down, but that's not the case. Their science just stinks.
I was alive, I was aware, I read the books and they had me scared. But you know what? Here we are 45 years later and we are still debating cooling and warming with nothing much really changed. Fool me once .......
Here is what I remember:
Americans who lived through the 1960s and ’70s may remember the dire global-cooling predictions that were hyped and given great credibility by
Newsweek,
Time,
Life,
National Geographic, and numerous other mainstream media outlets. According to the man-made global-cooling theories of the time, billions of people should be dead by now owing to cooling-linked crop failures and starvation.
And that was just the half of it, we were suppose to be out of oil by the 90s, and now a glut. I think it points to man being able to cope and solve problems.
No More Snow?
For well over a decade now, climate alarmists have been claiming that snow would soon become a thing of the past. In March 2000, for example, “senior research scientist” David Viner, working at the time for the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, told the U.K.
Independent that within “a few years,” snowfall would become “a very rare and exciting event” in Britain. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he was quoted as claiming in the article, headlined “Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past.”
The very next year, snowfall across the United Kingdom increased by more than 50 percent. In 2008, perfectly timed for a “global warming” legislation debate in Parliament, London saw its first October snow since 1934 — or possibly even 1922, according to the U.K.
Register. “It is unusual to have snow this early,” a spokesperson for the alarmist U.K. Met office admitted to
The Guardiannewspaper. By December of 2009, London saw its heaviest levels of snowfall in two decades. In 2010, the coldest U.K. winter since records began a century ago blanketed the islands with snow.
