Study debunks 'global cooling' concern of '70s

This is a pretty funny retort to those that pointed to that ONE article in the 70's that predicted global cooling.

The supposed "global cooling" consensus among scientists in the 1970s — frequently offered by global-warming skeptics as proof that climatologists can't make up their minds — is a myth, according to a survey of the scientific literature of the era.
The '70s was an unusually cold decade. Newsweek, Time, The New York Times and National Geographic published articles at the time speculating on the causes of the unusual cold and about the possibility of a new ice age.

But Thomas Peterson of the National Climatic Data Center surveyed dozens of peer-reviewed scientific articles from 1965 to 1979 and found that only seven supported global cooling, while 44 predicted warming. Peterson says 20 others were neutral in their assessments of climate trends.

I support whatever alarmist doomsday doctrine that will cast the heathens into their final resting spots while the meek shall.... Oops, Bible school or maybe it was Koran school, I skipped it to go to the library instead.

I say, support the most popular doomsday doctrine that will enable you to start a business and capitalize on a public willing to believe anything. Exploit for profit, and do it quickly before competition grows and the consumers get smart. It doesn't matter if your business is based around the Book of Revelation or the PowerPoint of Al Gore. Create a demand for your product, claim your business exists for some altruistic reason, and maintain good financial records, so you don't get prematurely busted by the feds.
