THE COMING ICE AGE

Anyone reading this blog is probably getting a little bored with my numerous posts concerning the bad science behind "global warming".

However, I just found this interesting little statement from the man who is considered the "guru" of the global warming scientists. His name is Stephen Schneider and he has made his living off of "chicken little" stories concerning looming calamities with the Earth's climate caused by pollution. Now, Schneider is one of the biggest proponents of the global warming theories that are now "in vogue". However, here's what he said back in 1971 ...

However, it is projected that man's potential to pollute will increase 6 to 8-fold in the next 50 years. If this increased rate of injection... should raise the present background opacity by a factor of 4, our calculations suggest a decrease in global temperature by as much as 3.5 oC. Such a large decrease in the average temperature of Earth, sustained over a period of few years, is believed to be sufficient to trigger an ice age.

Here's another quote from him from an interview with DISCOVER magazine back in 1989 ...

"To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and little mention of any doubts one might have. Each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective, and being honest."
