Did you know that Earth temperatures actually cooled from 1940 through 1970?

Question

Earth temperatures reportedly cooled after during WWII, prior to all the regulations in place for CO2. Is it relevant that temperatures began to rise only after the implementation of regulations designed to regulate greenhouse gases? (Check out The Great Global Warming Swindle at google videos)

Answer 1

Yes but the Global Warming Inquisition continues regardless of facts............

Answer 2

cool

Answer 3

That's why there was a "Global Cooling" panic in the 70's!

It was just like the current "global warming" scare, only in the opposite direction.  

Actually, "global cooling" would be much worse.  There would be no way to grow enough food to feed the world's population.  Mass starvation would kill off some.  Wars over food would kill more.

On the other hand, "global warming" might be kind of nice!  The wheat belt would expand north as far as Canada and Russia.  Southern states could produce more citrus and sugar cane for making ethanol (hopefully to drink, not fuel cars).

See link below for the Newsweek story from that era.  Second link is from TIME.

Come to think of it, didn't we start importing smaller, more fuel efficient Japanese cars in the 70's?  Maybe that's the real problem, we're not burning ENOUGH fossil fuel!

Answer 4

I'm not a big fan of global warming myself and that is welcome news.  Can you name your source?
