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.
Quote: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?

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?
I guess you are not familiar with the term "patently false" or maybe it's lost in translation or maybe you don't have google where ever you are... because when I google "mini ice age" 1/2 a dozen old articles come up from reputible sources...
oh, look here's one that is recent-ish:
https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news...e_age.html Meaning this one is still to come
commentary asside here is a wiki page dedicated to what they did know in the 1970 and literally hundreds of different papers all giving a different theory (which now is being lable conjecture because the theory and time line were wrong but back then that conjecture was scientific fact just like GCC is now!)
But again Dozens of PEERED REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC papers and references/evidences to the comming ice age.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling
here is a nasa dude warning of a still comming ice age

and here's a link to what help kick off the whole comming ice age BS:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-coming-ice-age/ which you mentioned, but makes my point about how there is a measure of faith required in believeing in 'pop corn science' as there is in beieveing in popcorn God.
I guess the only liar here is the one spreading fake news about the history of the patently false claim to the mini ice age. Did pin you as a person who ignores facts for her 'feelings' on a subject.
