What's new,the theory of Global warming isn't at least as far as Moynihan part of Nixon's inner circle warned over thirty years ago

But an interesting article with a link to newly declassified correspondance between Nixon and the rest of the world ;

Nixon presedential library and Museum

Anything as an excuse for the globe to pay a global carbon tax to Goldman Sachs.

Isaac Asimov wrote an article about warming and CO2 in 1959.

That's funny, I remember in the 70's (I was in school then too!) reports of scientist 'worry' as impending global cooling leading to an ice age.....

who was one of the scientist? Obama's present day science czar! he claimed it was gonna freeze all the way down to n.y.! (he also believes in de-industeralizing America and forced massive population control, as in putting steralization agents in to the water system.....)read some of his papers....the guy is freeky!

point is, climatologist can't predict the weather 2 days from now, (this year they perdict there will likely be between one and 14 tropical storms, and some may become hurricanes ......) everyday the weather guy says 30 percent chance of rain, or how mant times have they perdicted a sunny weeken only to awaken sat to rain?

and scientist are gonna tell us we are gonna burn up in 50 years?? peeshaw!

If enough fresh water gets tossed into the North Atlantic (by melting of Arctic ice or other ice sheets), the Gulf Stream (thermohaline circulation) will shut down and yeah, it'll get pretty damn cold in the US, Canada, and the coast of Europe.

There is a huge difference between climatologist and meteorologist, and also pollution consequences. Such a shame you cant tell the difference, or rather, dont wanna know

It's a much older argument that that, and one that's been around since at least the late '50s.
