That’s the quote of the day, and it comes from McQ of Q&O as part of his post on 1972’s Thing That Was Going To Kill Us All: The Coming Ice Age!
As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age.
Dun Dun DUN!

Newer data indicates we’re moving into a cooling period once again while the pols are still operating under GW, so the end result will be the same, the temperatures will decline of their own accord but the government will get to take credit for it because they got their crap legislation and international accords in ahead of the real cool off.
That is, unless we can manage to kill it.
Perfect timing, no?

But we also need to give Rachel Carson credit for getting DDT banned, one of the main reasons that a million or so people a year die from malaria, mostly in Africa.
Nice job!
