Run For The Hills! It's Global Cooling

I was listening to the Glen Beck radio show on my way to lunch and he read a long article from Newsweek in 1973... about the impending doom of... Global Cooling.

That's right.

See, it appears that there was almost a one degree Celsius increase from the 1800s to 1940. Then, something very ominous happened... there was almost a one degree Celsius decrease from 1940s to 1970s. Shoot up the flares! Sound the alarms! All of the scientists of the time warned of the crop damage and mass starvation that was to occur in the next 30 years due to this cooling trend.

So, if we were to believe the scientists then, we'd all be dead by now.

If we are to believe the scientists now... we'll all be dead soon.

Back then, the solution to this alarming decrease in temperature could be solved by, get this... melting the ice caps! That's what the top minds in the world came up with at the time. Cover the ice caps in black soot and let the heat from the sun melt them.

Melting ice caps saves the world!

Now, melting ice caps destroys the world!

Intelligencia, make up your mind! We simpletons are easily confused. To quote Mr. Beck, "this is why people think scientists are all quacks... it's the "eat butter is good for you, eat butter is bad for you" mentality."

We live in a dynamic world that changes every minute of every day. To expect the temperature to remain constant is ludicrous. Maybe the 1970s scientists should have a sit down with the 2000s scientists to see just which dooms day scenario is the one we should be avoiding.

All of us ignorant masses are anxiously awaiting your expert advice. We'll never survive without it.
