Satirical logic for the atheistic mind

[Angrboda]

It take the same if not more faith to follow popcorn science, especially after all the failure popcorn science has predicted/warned us about, in our own world n our own life time, (Mini-Ice age by 2000 due to pollution, deforestation by acid rain in the arctic tundra, hole in the Ozone caused by cfc's global warming, global cooling, global climate change due to carbon surplus,(that can some how be fixed by carbon credits/tax, melting Ice caps (nasa says antarctic Ice growing at crazy rate)  let alone what what pop corn science says about planets and galaxies or even the beginning of time.

I'm not going to go through each claim here, but examining the very first one, that science in the 1970s predicted a mini-ice age is patently false. This is just another case of you being a liar for Jesus. And for what it's worth, I didn't find the popcorn thread particularly clever or funny either.

Mainstream Media

What was the scientific consensus in the 1970s regarding future climate? The most cited example of 1970s cooling predictions is a 1975 Newsweek article "The Cooling World" that suggested cooling "may portend a drastic decline for food production."

"Meteorologists disagree about the cause and extent of the cooling trend… But they are almost unanimous in the view that the trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century."

A 1974 Time magazine article Another Ice Age? painted a similarly bleak picture:

"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."

Peer-Reviewed Literature

However, these are media articles, not scientific studies. A survey of peer reviewed scientific papers from 1965 to 1979 show that few papers predicted global cooling (7 in total). Significantly more papers (42 in total) predicted global warming (Peterson 2008). The large majority of climate research in the 1970s predicted the Earth would warm as a consequence of CO2. Rather than 1970s scientists predicting cooling, the opposite is the case.

What were climate scientists predicting in the 1970s?

Drich, even for you that last post was incoherent.  You and Huggy should duke it out to see who can misunderstand and misrepresent science more.

It was a mirror post that Valkyrie made but substituted God with science.

Which only goes to show that words, meaning, and context matter. If you had a good parallel between the two, your satire might be effective. But since your satire is based on lies and distortions, and bullshit arguments, it just ends up being a big WTF?
