What cooling period????????
There was a FLAT period from the 1940s to the 1970s between two WARMING periods but there has NEVER been a COOLING period in the entire temperature history of direct instrument measurement.
What is this imaginary COOLING period you fantasize about?????
the period from about 1950-1980, the one that caused the New Ice Age Hoax. I can't help it that people like Hansen have massaged the data to the point that it doesn't look like a cooling period anymore.
Well, Ian, sorry to see that you are well into lying to support you point of view. For there never was a New Ice Age Hoax by scientists. One of the articles frequently quoted as stating that an ice age was coming is from the National Geographic. Here the paragraph from which the quotes are taken out of context, is presented in its entirety;
National Geographic, November 1976
So now, some example of people dishonestly quoting the article:
The New American says (V20 #21, Oct 2004) National Geographic now claims that the Earth is heating up at an alarming rate. But in 1976 the magazine worried that falling temperatures could lead to another ice age.
Mike Oliver, at "energytruth.com" says In November, 1976 the National Geographic carried a warning that "the oceans would eventually freeze" and "snow would advance to the equator".
Bob Foster, on the Lavoisier group website: Back in the 70s, the greater concern was the possibility of global cooling.
Whats amusing about this, is that he describes the article as "a measured account of thinking at the time", which it is (as well as you can expect from the non-science press): its just that the measure is not what he says it is.
Will that do? They aren't particularly notable but they indicate the kind of stuff you see. None of these quotes is actually untrue: the dishonesty lies in their implying that cooling was either the only prediction, or considered much more likely.
Lets take that second pair of quotes and put them into context. Which is page 582: left column: 2 pix, one of J Murray Mitchell, captioned: "Cooling trend of world climate was documented in the 1960's by J Murray Mitchell... Now, he notes, [CO2] pollution may be contributing to an opposite, or warming, tendency". The second is of Reid Bryson (looking particularly wacky) captioned: "'Human Volcano': Read A Bryson of the University of Wisconsin coined that phrase to describe how an exploding population has flung particulate matter, such as dust from cultivation, into the atmosphere. There it blocks solar rays, and surface temperatures drop. In the complex climate equation, this may be the critical factor, he believes."
Right column is text "It is possible we are on the brink of a several-decade-long period of rapid warming...", with a text box in bold: "Were the cooling trend to reverse... the earth could warm relatively rapidly, with potentially catastrophic effect. National Science Foundation, 1975", then "The CO2 level is already up by 10% since 1850; by the year 2000, experts say, it may have risen another 20%, enough to cause a 0.6oC rise in average world temperature.". Then we get a new section, about whether particulates warm or cool. Then we get the quote: "But the sensitivity of climate was pointed up independently by a Soviet and an American scientist, who conclused that a permanent drop of only 1.6 to 2 percent in energy reaching the earth 'would lead to an unstable condition in which continental snow cover would advance to the Equator... [and] the oceans would eventually freeze,' according to a recent U.S. scientific advisory report. [WMC: nb: ellipsis original].
to everyone except the k00ks.
.........try telling them about the last 10 years "according the the accumulated data".!!!
You don't know shit about relativity, do you?
