So is your stand that because they were wrong 40 years ago, and because sometimes warming is not man made, global warming isn’t actionable? Things change and multiple things can cause catastrophe. You wouldn’t say that Columbus was innocent because smallpox killed many native Americans?

Don't concede that point. 50 years ago the decreasing temperature over time was written about in a pop science article (by a journalist) not peer reviewed science (although scientists were quoted). The magazine covers claiming it was a major story were modern photoshops - the article was on page 64.

40 years from now we will be having the same discussion. I'll point back to 80 years of climate bullshit and you'll say its really going to happen this time.

The song is tired old music.

What do you think the motive is here if not to slow down climate change?

I have oftened pounded the stupid out of people like yourself but I find that it’s a big circle where we start over again, after you’ve lost on every point.

HN should note that many people believe as you do and that’s why it’s unlikely to get better before it gets much worse.

A million Americans unnecessarily died from Coronavirus. That should have been a wake up call.

What about the ozone layer? Was that bullshit? We banned CFC’s and now the problem is fixed.
