Wow. You’ve got to listen to the certainty with which these climate scientists predicted…global cooling. Hell, not even global cooling. Global freezing, miles of ice, and that the science was settled, and that the ice age began 3000 years ago. We were DOOMED. Who was the brilliant mind behind all this? Stephen Schneider — the same Stephen Schneider who now is one of the chief cheerleaders of AGW. (You’ll see a young Stephen in the second video at 6:05). This post comes courtesy of a young man named Luboš Motl in the Czech Republic (more proof that not everyone in Europe is crazy).
You can bet that this is one “In Search Of” episode the History Channel will make sure never sees the light of day again!

Schneider’s position is particularly brilliant — no matter what the planet does now, he can say he was right!

By definition, it's coming...

of course...100,000 years from now.
erinmist (Diary) Saturday, December 5th at 2:03AM EST (link)We know another ice age is coming. But even the earliest estimates place it at something like 10,000 years from now. By which time we’ll be completely colonized on Mars, will have mastered warping space-time to move through the universe pretty much at will, figured out fusion energy, and something as mundane as an ice-age will be well within the purview of our ancestors to manage and reverse with relative ease.
Assuming God doesn’t turn out the lights before then, or that the world ends in 2012…lol

Heh. It's the 1970s all over again.
acat (Diary) Saturday, December 5th at 10:22AM EST (link)I recall quite clearly the 1970s global cooling scare. Proposals in PopSci for orbiting giant mirrors, intended to send more sunlight down to warm things up again, geothermal and solar hot-water systems and (of course) insulation…
We need to look at this as it’s where the current “Climate Change” watermelons (red on the inside, green on the outside) got their start.
