I'm not "parroting fox news". I'll just give you a link to an article in TIME magazine from 1974: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...944914,00.html
YOU need to do some research. I've been around long enough to see the scientists change their opinions in direct correlation to whomever is paying their bills.
The scientists working for oil companies say one thing...the ones working for ecological foundations say another.
These scientists are just people at the end of the day. They do whatever is going to pay the rent.
And that Time magazine article isn't the only one. We were watching "educational" films in high school in the 1970's that were indoctrinating us to believe that mankind was definitely bringing on an Ice Age from the gases we were releasing in the air. Yes...it was the consensus then.
Hell...even recent studies are saying that an Ice Age is coming. This is from National Geographic in 2005: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...0_ice_age.html
But at least that one doesn't blame humans.
In my humble opinion...the entire "climate change" argument can be put in three words: "Follow The Money".
Whether it's oil companies...or on the flip side "Green Energy" interests...there are billions of dollars in play and at stake. |
And as I have said many times before, NEWS is not science. NEWS is a business, and the business is about selling ads and getting eyeballs to the ads.
Just because Time magazine has an article, does not mean it was a scientific consensus.
Time is a business, selling ads is the business. When you read the actual science, only a minority were talking about a new ice age.
It was never a consensus, it was a MINORITY opinion. That's how science works, by getting groups of scientists arguing with each other about possible models.
That said, yes, a new ice age, or a short ice age, iS part of the global warming model, and it could happen, especially, the model predicts, in europe.
Yes, films were made, I've seen them too - I bet I know the one you are talking about, made by the BBC. But it was a film, made as content for a business.
IT'S NOT SCIENCE!
If you want I can explain in exhaustive detail the various models of theories about ice ages and global warming and ocean currents and aerosols and the like.
Just don't try to telll me that TIME FUCKING MAGAZINE is fucking science. It's NOT, and you look like a fool claiming it is.
