Back when our cars (some of them anyway) still had their new car smell, aerosols among other things were the big "evil climate changing mechanism" :angry7:
In April of 1975, Newsweek magazine printed an artice called "The Cooling World." It pointed to "ominous signs that the Earth's weather patterns have begun to change" and pointed to "a drop of half a degree [Fahrenheit] in average ground temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere between 1945 and 1968." The article claimed "The evidence in support of these predictions [of global cooling] has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it." Scientists predicted we were in imminent danger of another ice age. Blah, blah, blah.
To be realistic, I don't know the actual timespan of "imminent" (in terms of the Earth's history, imminent could mean 10,000 years.) But, lo and behold, forty short years later and no ice age. Not only no ice age, but now we did a complete 180 and its global warming! All this tells me is that "they" have no idea whats gonna happen. I do know, however, that Al Gore has made a ton of money purveying this global warming stuff. That alone deserves a kick in the nuts.
Just my .02
Yup, the idiots can't get a five day forecast right with 100% accuracy, but we're supposed to believe it when they say that a 100 years from now the Earth will be like this.
Cooked data, threats within the scientific community for daring to question that data, losing data, the idea of "penalizing" developed nations with the term "climate justice," to funnel money to undeveloped nations. Hugo Chavez getting a standing ovation at Carbonhagen for giving a speech which says the US is the cause of all the world's "problems" for the "climate change" and should be penalized for it. Nah, none of that has more to do with politics and a culture of lies than it does with 100% legitimate science, now does it?
Algore's jetting all over the world, the limos, the $36,000 a year energy bills on his own home, shows that since he's unable to practice what he preaches even he doesn't by into his own concept, especially since he's own of the biggest promoters of the masses living one way, while he won't give up his own lifestyle for the benefit of the planet he professes to love.
Algore's a hypocrite, but we must follow, now, mustn't we?
