Are we going to be able to stop Climate Change?

[Cato]

During the 50's and 60's we were having below normal temps. Also we were having above average snow fall and people were crying about a mini ice age. Now the temps are on the rise, mostly at the poles and the ice is going. Cycles are a norm in weather.
As for what man can do, not much. What can we really do clean up our own mess, reduce pollution stop wasting energy and stop playing politics. It could still get warmer, but at least we would have a cleaner place to bake.

The mini ice age story is a bit of a canard. There was a cooling trend immeidately preceding the 70s, but it was limited to the northern hemisphere. Global temperatures remained steady.

Only a small number of scientists published forecasting a sustained cooling trend. Six times as many scientists published predicting a warming trend.





Looking back at only 10% of papers written in the 70s while simultaneiously ignoring 30 additional years of work in the field in order to suggest today's consensus can't be trusted is misguided.
