Quote:Global cooling was a conjecture during the 1970s of imminent cooling of the Earth's surface and atmosphere culminating in a period of extensive glaciation. Press reports at the time did not accurately reflect the scientific literature.[1] The current scientific opinion on climate change is that the Earth underwent global warming throughout the 20th century and continues to warm.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling
Ahh yes you forgot this part
1970s awareness
Climate scientists were aware that predictions based on this trend were not possible - because the trend was poorly studied and not understood (for example see reference[17]). Despite that, in the popular press the possibility of cooling was reported generally without the caveats present in the scientific reports, and "unusually severe winters in Asia and parts of North America in 1972 and 1973...pushed the issue into the public consciousness"
so the popular press though it was going to cool , not the Climate scientists, good catch there ajax
Not unlike today were the media have absolutely runaway with AGW.
Politicians have embraced it as SAVE THE WORLD.
And anyone who has doubts including scientist are shunned and given no air time.
Its become a sin to be a sceptic...!!
Yet for science to work they must always be sceptical.
The prediction of the computer models was wrong.
Therefore the theory of AGW is wrong.......!
That's all there is to it.
so because the Press where wrong in the 70's about the Climate, therefore they must be wrong now, even though in the 70's the climate scientists thought it was going to warm and even more think that is going to happen now ?
