Please read this paper (THE MYTH OF THE 1970S GLOBAL COOLING SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS
which described a literature review of climate science papers published between 1965 and 1979.

What was found was that in that time there were:

- 7 articles predicting cooling
- 44 predicting warming
- 20 that were neutral

That hardly looks like there was a Global Cooling/New Ice Age scare in the 70's, does it.

Please stop repeating this nonsense.

7 Articles??? Are you freakin kidding me!! I remember between the ages of 13 through 16 we were fed this horse poop, I remember it because I was scared to death, we moved to Florida when I was 15 and I remember thinking to myself that all of this would be underwater. We used to do School projects on this stuff, they used to talk about it in the news all the time. Just keep in mind, back then we didn't have the 24 hour news, we didn't have the internet, we didn't have as many ways as we do today that the enviro-wacko's could spread their lies, so it wasn't quite as widespread back then, but it was still an ever-present reminder. I remember Especially during the Blizzard of '77, how they went ape $hit over this whole Ice Age thing.
You can read your little documents about it, I was there, I remember it all.

Oh, and by the way, if you take the time to get informed, you'll find that the number one supporting piece that you have about CO2 driving Climate, it's ALREADY BEEN PROVEN, that it's the other way around, in a little documentary called the Great Global Warming Swindle. You want to talk about science? THAT is real science, and to top it off, most of the information came from ... Wait for it .... Wait for it .... Lead Author of the IPCC report, John Christy!
