Don’t throw away all of your global warming literature and propaganda just yet. If you save it long enough, you can use it the next time the fallacious theory comes around. I only wish I held on to all of my souvenirs from the ‘Global Cooling/Ice Age’ scare 30+ years ago now that the theory will become popular again soon.
It is amazing to me that the ebb and flow of the global warming/cooling trend follows the natural cycle of weather and nobody seems to notice. Weather throughout history gets warmer and cooler (see Firey Ball of Mass and Ice Age) Each time a new media trend about the weather starts, “scientific” data is presented that argues against a natural up and down pattern to the weather and instead insists some human source as the cause for the drastic and unprecedented change. Well, if the scientific data presented for the popular warming or cooling trend at the time is so important, then looking at all of the data together must be really important. In the sake of science then, lets take a look at the trends of alarmist weather reporting and see it change as often as fashion, music, and the natural weather patterns of our Earth.
fashion trends, I would use pictures from Cosmopolitan magazine, but since I am comparing trends of popular alarmist weather claims, I will use Time Magazine as a meter of relative opinion.
Lets start with a Time magazine covers from 1973 and 1979. ‘The Big Freeze’ and ‘The
Cooling of America’ were warnings of the second coming of the Ice Age. Wait a second. The second coming? You mean to tell me that the Earth got that cold before all on its own without human interaction? And for that matter, the Earth was that cold before and it got warmer again without CO2 emissions from automobiles? Amazing. It almost seems as if this is a bit of a natural cycle for the Earth.
Laying common sense aside (hard for conservatives, easy for liberals), lets go ahead and hold Time magazine in high regard. Lets pretend that Time magazine is a reputable news source and believe them that if humans don’t change their ways, we are sure to face another ice age. Well, fast forward 30 years and we start to see a new opinion (yes, opinion) appear in news magazines…. Global Warming!
Time magazine covers from more recent issues display the new popular trend in global climate scare. Cover titles like “Be Worried, Be Very Worried” and “The Global Warming Survival Guide” show how quickly indisputable scientific evidence about global climate change can be reversed. Well, if it is easy to dismiss this data that came out 30 years ago as a mistake, why should we have believed the most recent scare of global warming? 
The same “scientists” were making their claims with the same severity as before, and they are both calling their theories “fact”. Well, they swore they weren’t wrong before, and they were. What is to say that the information they are swearing isn’t wrong now, is actually wrong too? Well, nothing… both cases were wrong.
So, I found it quite difficult to believe the Global Warming claims of Time magazine when I couldn’t believe the Global Cooling scare by Time magazine. I laughed to myself each time I heard… “No, we really mean it this time”. Well, now that we are back to global cooling again, do they mean it even more? Are the facts even more concrete? Is the risk even greater? Does the fact that the famous polar bear on the chunk of ice picture was taken in August (when ice naturally melts every season) during a unusually high polar bear population make the picture less effective for Time’s Global Warming cause? All I hope is that the “Global Warming Survival Guide” includes instructions on how to treat frostbite.
Yes, you read that right… we are back to Global Cooling again. In the past year we are seeing evidence of widespread Global Cooling.
- China has it’s coldest winter in 100 years (reuters article here)
- Snow falls in Baghad, Iraq for the first time EVER! (breitbart article here)
- Surprise Snowstorms in San Diego (San Diego Local news article here)
- Record cold temperatures for Minnesota (CNN article here)
- Massive snowstorms in Ontario and Quebec (see canada.com article here)
- Antarctic Sea ice is actually increasing (see nasa.gov article here)
- Record cold temps for California (see LA Times article here)
- Record snowfall in New England (see USA Today article here)
Here’s a preview of a Washington Post Article:
“…South America this year experienced one of its coldest winters in decades. In Buenos Aires, snow fell for the first time since the year 1918. Dozens of homeless people died from exposure. In Peru, 200 people died from the cold and thousands more became infected with respiratory diseases. Crops failed, livestock perished, and the Peruvian government declared a state of emergency.
Unexpected bitter cold swept the entire Southern Hemisphere in 2007. Johannesburg, South Africa, had the first significant snowfall in 26 years. Australia experienced the coldest June ever. In northeastern Australia, the city of Townsville underwent the longest period of continuously cold weather since 1941. In New Zealand, the weather turned so cold that vineyards were endangered…”
More and more examples around the world (Jerusalem, Damascus, Vietnam, Great Brittian, Saudi Arabia, etc) are receiving record low temperatures and record snowfall too (see newsmax article here). It seems that Global Warming is not only wrong, but Global Cooling is actually happening instead. Here are some charts I found on Watts Up With That from the four major global temperature tracking sources to prove this:
UK’s Hadley Climate Research Institute (avg -0.595 C drop)
University of Alabama’s Research (avg -0.588 C drop)
NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (avg -0.75 C drop)
Remote Sensing Systems of Santa Rosa (avg -0.629 C drop)
Well, perhaps Time magazine can’t be trusted.
If Time magazine is wrong, I sure hope they don’t come out with a cover picture depicting how global warming is wrong. If they did, I might even start doubting my own conclusions given their track record of being on the wrong side of everything related to global climate change. Perhaps Time magazine is just a tool in the liberal toolbox to promote their scare tactics. Is that why they compare Al Gore to Christ in a recent cover?
Well, I hope this doesn’t make you lose your faith in our news system. After all, Time magazine did get something right, they named me as Time magazine Person of the Year:
