I'm telling you that YES there was a big uproar all through the 1970's and into the 1980's and it was being reported on the all the news (ABC, CBS, NBC, and early CNN) that climate scientists were predicting another Ice Age.
You can think whatever you like. But I was there and read it and saw it...and laughed at the complete 180 that scientists did a couple of decades later.
All I'm trying to point out is that the scientists "prove" whatever their financial backers tell them to prove. And that there are billions of dollars at stake to promote climate change.
IF you don't think so...that's cool. But you look like a guy with blinders on to me.

If true, it shoudl be trivial to find soem actual science articles that support your position.
Want to try? I'll give you the chance.
Yes, I remember all those news items too - but NEWS IS NOT SCIENCE, for christs sake. If news is science, then your side is in fucking trouble, because there is NO NEWS that supports your beliefs these days. I've been interested in science since I was a kid, I have been reading thsi shit all my life, I remember all those articles too - and they were just news then, not science. Back then people were amazed to realize that we were in an interglacial that had lasted 15k years, and to discover from the geology that the average period of interglacials was 10k years, so they were all "An ICEAGE is coming" - but that is NOT what the scientific consensus was.
Explain my blinders to me. Because I could make exactly the same statement about you - except I happen to know what the actual science says.
What am I blind about?
