NYT: Global warming averted impending ice age

NYT: Global warming averted impending ice age. “Scientists say that if natural factors were still governing the climate, the Northern Hemisphere would probably be destined to freeze over again in several thousand years.” But greenhouse gases will prevent that, they say. We can just hear Al now: “If it weren’t for deniers funded by Big Oil, we could all be happily making snowpersons this July instead of frying on the beach!”

  • Liberals can never be wrong. Oh, there was going to be an ice age but CO2 changed things and the world didn't cool. Not because the progs blew the prediction but because of another factor that was all the fault of the American free enterprise system.

  • Sounds like they're trying to CYA on their global cooling BS in the 60's and 70's. Amazing how in a mere 40 or so year's, due to the magic of CO2 it's turned into global warming.

    • Rose, simply contact the Ministry of Truth and they will explain it to you.

  • If you really want to piss off a climate alarmist, ask them what happened 13,500 years ago. It was warm enough so the Wooly Mammoths thrived in a much warmer climate, then it suddenly got much colder. They are still finding mammoths frozen in the perma-frost that suddenly froze to death while still eating.

  • Newsflash! 20-30% of the last 4000 years have been warmer than the last 100, quick get your parkas!

    I guess the only way these idiots will stop trying to re-sell this dead parrot is if the trumped up "proxy pixies" came up with exactly 50% warmer in the past X years (LOL, like THAT would ever be allowed to happen!).

    You can't fix stupid, but if you're smart enough you can get research grants from stupid people.

  • What mighty beings we humans must be to have eliminated the influence of the sun, the Earth's rotation, the magnetic field, etc. on our climate, all in less than a century.
    The NYT cannot go bankrupt soon enough.

  • This is going to the throw First Church of the Algore into despair. The cornerstone of their doctrinal foundation is crumbling.
