Newsweek 1975 : Tornado outbreaks blamed on global cooling. Warming, cooling… the point is you rightwingers are to blame, so shut up and do as you’re told! Oh, and vote Democrat or we’ll audit you.

  • Global warming causing superstorms that destroy houses, or global cooling doing it, or just a couple of mis-guided muslim youths, with pressure cooker bombs and a disillusioned view of the US doing the same. At this point what difference does it make? The only thing to do now is to send/allocate more $$ and give all our votes to the all-caring democrat party to fix this anomoly.

      • He's just trolling off topic with what has been proven to be an aggressively annoying mantra. That is his work in a proverbial nut shell.

        • Maybe. But there is a case to be made with his statement, I just want to see if can connect the dots. I'm willing to see if his gerbil can actually run of the wheel. In his head anyway. That's why I have not voted of his comment yet.

  • This is a good example of what I have been telling youngsters for years, I have heard all this bullshit before. If any of these globull warming advocates cared to read a little history from the 1960 and '70's on climate change they would see that all the "problems" we have are caused by the exact same things, fossil fuels, coal, cars, power plants, yada, yada, yada.

    All the lies got us back then was smaller cars, unleaded gas, higher electricity costs as power plants shut down and coal mines closed, job loses in the steel industry as related industries were shut down, like mining, Is all this sounding familiar?

    Adding to the globull cooling scare was regulations coming from the newly formed EPA (thank you Nixon, you dumb shit) that resulted in the closing of uranium mines, which led to the slowdown nuclear power plant technology, which resulted in no new nuclear power plants being built in 30 years. No new oil refineries have been built in over 40 years thanks to, you guessed it, EPA regulations. Which, of course, has led to wild fluxuations in fuel prices as the existing refineries sturggle to keep up with all the stupid emission regulations coming from the EPA and demand at the same time.

    There is no "climate change", up, down or sideways. All we have is gooberment trying to turn America into another third world country, using government funded "science" as its proof.

  • This just in:

    Connection found between global warming and the media being full of shit. More at 11.

  • Lest we forget the naysayers have changed the wording from 'global warming'
    and 'global cooling' to 'climate change'. That way they will never be wrong or
    so they think. They probably don't want to lose their government funding.

    • The only way the would lose funding under this administration would be if they advocated for conservative candidacies.
