funny how 50 years ago everyone was worried we were plunging back into an ice age...
Those concerns were based on bad science promoted by the media. There was no scientific consensus of risk of ice age.
Nuclear winter probably shouldn't be funny, but it does cancel out global warming according to Futurama.
We should start harvesting ice from Halley's comet, it's the best source of ice without bugs in it.
kenm is that you?
This is a phony bullshit talking point. The possibility of a cooling climate was briefly raised and entertained in mainstream media for about a year in the 1970s. It was never even remotely a scientific consensus view. Contrast that with human caused warming which has been settled science for decades. There is no comparison. As I said, it's a bullshit talking point.
