Retro Warmism

December 5, 2010 at 12:00 am

When our children look back on the global warming hoax, they’ll have a laugh at the absurdly overblown prophecies of doom and the willful idiocy of the fools of our generation who believed them….and the gullibility of their own for swallowing their school based eco-brainwashing.

Slowly but surely more people are taking the Red Pill.

But until then, we already get a chance to look back and laugh at the 70s, when the same sort of people were telling us that only submission to Big Government could save us from an onrushing ice age.

And even then they were hedging their bets, the way they do now by saying “climate change” instead of global warming. For example:

“At the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science… the consensus seemed to be that, rather than experience either a warming trend or a cooling trend, we shall have both. Although not at the same time, fortunately.”

Incredibly, our generation of politicians are still peddling the same faded tricks. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
