Ice age scare?

Steven Goddard could you please explain to me this supposed "ice age scare in the 1970s", I'm not aware of papers during the 1970's that match your comment or perhaps my 30 years in the field isn't long term enough.

Apart from that and a usual re-hash of denial data that was discarded years ago by serious researchers this is a great article to explain that global warming is a very complicated issue & that tabloid over simplification makes public and some journalists skimming the headlines too lazy to look up the actual papers and full set of tables to judge the facts!

Oh and if you think the Ice Age scare of the 70's in the tabloid press, (funny didn't know they were peer reviewed journals), Is the one where researchers had evaluated three scenarios extrapolated from the data available at the time, the TABLOIDS chose the Ice Age scenarios because it suited their headlines, funnily enough what we are going through now climate wise, follows almost perfectly the middle scenario that the expert tabloid journalists ignored....

One wobbly scientist does not devalue all the other work. I'm a little fed up with the black or white attitude to global warming.

Can anyone remind me why we have fire extinguishers, or first aid kits?

Bottom line reason I keep my energy consumption as low as possible is simple, preservation of earth's resources and keeping my expenses low,

Funny how people seem to argue we should be wasting our resources because they don't believe in global warming.

I second above comment.

No one outside of the recipients of Sony press releases is aware or cares about Second Life, barely anyone I know knows of it, even those who play online, none of my friends who work next door in Game EVER get customers asking of it.

I worked in gaming retail for 15 years, recently changing industries, there's not been a single mention in non gaming contacts and those in gaming dont want to mention it.

Who on earth is telling you it's all the rage?
