I guess that means it's true...global warming is the only area of prediction and science that literally no dissent is allowed or tolerated, and heaven forbid you should actually dig up old articles which remind people of what was once held as gospel truth.
I remember that.
It was all over the news.
I must have been 6 or 7 years old, but recall with scaring clarity a program my father watched with great concentration.
A group of scientist discussing the (possible) oncoming ice age.
I was scared shitless for months, which is probably why I remember it so vividly.
As for papers. There's "Heys et al" 1976.
There's the "1975 NAS/NRC report".
There is "Imbrie & Imbrie" 1979.
and than Spencer Weart’s "History of Global Warming " which, among other thingsm discusses the possible onset of a new ice age and the factors involved in such onset,
Granted that most of those papers have been countered AT A LATER TIME. But they were serious bids on what was going to happen, at the time they were written.
It's noteworthy, if for nothing else than entertainment, that the Danish Meteorological Institute just yesterday published that this year had, so far, been the coldest in 49 year. Regional, focusing on the part of the world Denmark is located in, but none the less the coldest year. And since 1891 there has only been one summer colder than the one 49 years ago.
I bet it hurt like hell to publish that.
