When people bring up that dopey lame story that the climatologists predicted an ice age in the 1970's, a lot of them manage to say something like "I was around", or "I'm old enough to remember". Well that's pretty vague isn't it? I was in my 30's, a military veteran and college graduate when I read Lowell Ponte's book and saw him on the Johnny Carson show. He was a meteorologist and a maverick who thought he was smarter than all the Climatologists. Today he's a denier. A few people followed his lead, but only other mavericks like him. Their math turned out to be wrong, but they didn't care.
So what I'd like to know is how old were all you expert witnesses who know all about what went on ion the world of climatology in the 1970's? When I read the posts I picture someone in a high chair with applesauce all over his face watching Captain Kangaroo. That might not be fair though, so I thought I'd ask.
