Fifty years ago, newspapers and magazines assured us that the world had been growing steadily cooler for centuries and that this process had accelerated dramatically since 1945
I remember, I was at school. Funnily enough, no-one suggested striking from school to stop the coming Ice Age. If I remember correctly, the more immediate problem was the funny men who hung out by the river in Bedford, ringing the school to say a bomb had been planted, in the hope that scantily clad school girls would be visible from the riverbank. Happy days!
Climate change was invented because the environmentalists weren't getting enough action on forcing people to stop using cars and other products that made life better and easier. We all can't ride bicycles.
The climate change leaders appear to me as Chicken Little.
Very well said Simon! I remember very well the global freezing scare as a boy in the seventies. And the nuclear War scare in the eighties. And the recent flu psyop. I say psyop because that's what they always are. Geoengineering is real. Anyone with two eyes and a quest for the truth will see the Crap being sprayed in our skies. It's the same here in Spain. I really do believe that Toto (the dog in The Wizard of Oz) has pulled at the curtain and we can now see the weak, weedy controllers spreading their fear porn
I remember no less a scientist than Leonard Nimoy, who played the science officer in the 1960s TV series “Star Trek,” narrated a science programme on the telly telling us of the dangers of the coming ice age.
I was about ten so I was convinced. These days I might be of a mind to wonder if he took the job because acting roles for a half Vulcan, half human actor were a bit thin on the ground in the 1970s.
I know, I am an old cynic boots and might even be a climate denier…
In the face of the constant, terrifying climate predictions to have emerged over the past years, some from such luminaries as Nobel Prize winner Al Gore, there is a wealth of data from which to draw our own conclusions. Empirically measurable data both old and new.
I find it helpful for the panic-stricken young people I know to point them towards this data, the vast majority of which seems to calm their anxiety a great deal. Once they peruse the data, and the various ways in which it’s possible to portray these records, their new-found perspectives provide a soothing new outlook.
The YouTube channels of Tony Heller and CDN show a wealth of data to help in drawing one’s own conclusions.
My blogpost from several years ago made many of the same points. http://bit.ly/27RaoNr Strangely the 'solutions' to global cooling and global warming were almost the same.

That made me laugh!
I too remember the 'ice age cometh' scaremongering from the 70's. Ah well, nothing that we, mere mortals, could do about it.
The Great Man-made Climate Change con is just the latest way that rich people get richer by delving into the pockets of 'the little people'.
Most politicians and MSN talk down to the general populace in the same vein as a 1970's Blue Peter presenter.
As I move into the latter days of my life, I'm glad most of my life was spent prior to the coming of the digital age.

Sooner or later though, it will be observed that the things they claim are false and then we shall have to find something else to fret about!

Being a climate denialist is almost as bad as denying the Holocaust these days!
I know! What a turnaround !
Whereas people like kiddie fiddlers are now brave souls.
Bless them…
How, er, refreshing(?)
By the way, I love what our elders and betters did by capturing the word “denier.” Edward Bernays would be proud of them. Probably Goebbels too.
Yes indeed! 'Climate change deniers' are almost as bad these days as 'Holocaust deniers'...

The irony is that, demands to ‘reduce’ CO2 (the planet’s major greening gas) are actually anti-green, by definition.
