I saw snowflakes on Halloween. It was so cold our annual neighborhood Halloween party was cancelled. If that doesn't tell you that global cooling is upon us, I don't what will.

Are you obtuse? When we have the usual or even unusual cold weather, that's just "weather". When we get hot weather, or a bad hurricane, or a tornado, those are examples of climate change and how it is adversely affecting the planet.
In fact, I've seen some arguments that the global warming is also causing global cooling.

Back in the 70s, we were going to be dead before the year 2000 from the coming ice age. Then the scientists “all” agreed we’d be dead by 2020 or 2030 from the coming heat wave and coastal flooding. Now, they’re saying we might be back to global cooling. Please excuse me if I don’t believe any of them.

On the ice ages and global cooling predictions of the 1970s ...
Actually, thanks to the Nixon administration, the global cooling disaster of the 1970s was averted by the government choosing a correct balance between regulation and economic development limiting aerosols in the atmosphere. Remember telling mom how bad her hair spray was? Just wait if you need to refill your air conditioner with freon beginning next year.
As a bonus, has there been new technology development and expansion of the economy due to new developments to replace those evil aerosols? My favorite right now mists just a hint of vermouth over a well made gin for a near perfect martini. (Actually, it would be interesting to see what that economic impact (aerosols -> new atomizers) would be ... some researchers please). The 1970s thought was aerosols seed clouds which reflect sunlight and cause global cooling. Add some peripheral knowledge on periodic ice ages (with geologically long time periods) and there indeed were media reports (Newsweek and Time) of a possible upcoming ice ages (and taught to particularly impressionable youth at Guardian Angels grade school).
Fact is in the 1970s, there was no 97% scientific consensus. Predictions were more like 60% for global warming (because science started to include all the components like CO2 (human and volcanos) and aerosols and the C02- water vapor cycles and all those long term periodic variations) and 10% for global cooling, and 30% unsure. There was not a consensus as the modeling was not completely developed. However, science progresses and we now know the consensus that developed in the 1980s, 90s and (really, except for the 3% fringe - if they still exist, there isn't any controversy).Last edited by WCWIII; 11-10-2019 at 08:01 PM.

yea those policy changes averted an ice age... sure.
i actually saw an article a few weeks ago about a couple scientists warning about global cooling again. don't know what to think. i look at it like those studies that come out every now and then talking about how red meat is bad for you and then another the next week telling you it's good for you again. it's just people trying to justify their research
