It doesn't matter to some people. The template is in place.

There's no shortage of scientists or people more than willing to believe their opinion. Fortunately their conclusions are nothing more than an opinion.

They were wrong in the 70's and these same scientists have returned with the opposite. Funny thing is in the 70's they claimed that Global Cooling would cause the ice to grow in Antarctica until it broke off into the ocean and cause massive tidal waves and flooding of the coastal cities.

Now they predict Global Warming that will flood the coastal cities.

Both times it was man made.

1974
Serious droughts since 1972 increase concern about climate, with cooling from aerosols suspected to be as likely as warming; scientists are doubtful as journalists talk of a new ice age.

1977
Scientific opinion tends to converge on global warming, not cooling, as the chief climate risk in next century.

Hey Zatoichi You "Claim" to be a Science teacher at a University. How much money is Your facility stands to gain from this Global Warming fraud?? How much??

ZAT - populist fear over global cooling 1972:

Science: Another Ice Age?
Monday, Jun. 24, 1974

"Telltale signs are everywhere from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest.Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7 F."

1972 = 1974

Zat was a Global Cooling Salesman before he was a Global Warming Salesman.

My fear is that the climate is too steady. A global temperature rut is the next big thing.

Throw some prozac in the toilet to save the earth.

From the linked article:

Areas of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic, for example, were once totally free of any snow in summer; now they are covered year round.

....but...I was up in Canada last year, and the northern ice was receeding.....the northwest passage is now becoming navigable when it never was before in living memory.....also....polar bears are dying off because there is too much open water and not enough ice for them to live on......I'm not a scientist, but this article is implying the opposite of what I experienced, and what the Canadians told me, when I was there..........

.....Spud ?....Pancho ?.....any other canucks want to chime in ?......

......also.....many of the lakes in the Tampa area where I live have dried up......fresh water level seems to have dropped about ten feet in this area.......

"article is implying the opposite"

Terminal cognitive dissonance.
