Greenhouse gases could have caused an ice age, claim scientists
2009-01-02
Filling the atmosphere with Greenhouse gases associated with global warming could push the planet into a new ice age, scientists have warned.
Ummm... Right. Global warming leads to nuclear winter.

#17  but make sure you deride skeptics with a "consensusy" shoutdown

#16  just like you've gotta rotate crops seasonally - you've gotta rotate your enviro-based societal control "science" seasonally, and adjust data and rhetoric to match

#15  I think it's a seasonal thing: they threaten us with further warming in summer and further cooling in winter. That way they can get more government pork grants on a year-round basis.

#13  I wish I was a homerun hitter with the prowess of the Babe. And, every time one of these shit-for-brains gurus expels more babble I would be allowed one free swing at their cranium with my new Louieville Slugger.

#12  Pass a law against the production of zooplankton, that should do it.

Nows the time to start the storyline for overpopulation in the Spring and zombie armies in the Fall.

#11  I'm doing my best for the coming Era of Low Gravity by consuming anything in the fridge and drinking like a fish this holiday season

#10  The posited (by me) Era Of Low Gravity is gonna make you pray for global warming/cooling or both. Trust me.

However... a few will propser during the coming era of Low Gravity and I know how.

Prayer lines are open.

For details contact Mike N. Tell him Half has pointed the way.

#9  Casting a wider net I think. Global warming isn't scary enough for everyone. Try global cooling and see if it can terrorize people into behaving the way you want.

#8  Con men have generally not a good standing in society. Now how one may not only be successful at that vocation (loads of cash going one's way), but also be respected?

Become a scientist!

#6  I've often defined experts as being anyone in a "journalist's" Rolodex. Is "scientist" (particularly when anonymized into a plural "scientists") pretty much the same definition?

#5  I am not a scientist but if high CO2 is present in both heating and cooling scenarios then I would assume its not a driver of either.

Just sayin'

#3  Alas, you are merely a practicing physicist, if I recall correctly, g(r)omgoru dear, which field doesn't give much latitude for such thinking.

#1  TV AD > THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS "CLEAN COAL".

Its interesting to review late 1960's + 1970's Guam news articles [back-and-white press] on these very same GW topics.
