Ah that bullshit. A couple fringe people were talking about it and because it sells, some media picked it up. Even at the time, the vast majority of climate research at the time predicted warming.
Keep deluding yourself BC. It was hardly fringe, it was mainstream thought in the climate science community for the better part of two decades. No matter how much today's pseudo scientists try, they cannot erase the past publications of record in the same manner that they have with the temperature record.

Nah, that's just oil & gas disinformation.
A survey of the scientific literature has found that between 1965 and 1979, 44 scientific papers predicted warming, 20 were neutral and just 7 predicted cooling. So while predictions of cooling got more media attention, the majority of scientists were predicting warming even then.

2000 years is a very short time in the history of this planet. You're looking at this issue through a pinhole.
ROTFLMAO!! Obviously, you are not comprehending what was in the link that you posted. This is especially as I pointed it out.
Maybe you should take your comments to the authors who came up with that Research!!

Ask anyone 60 + years if they were told in the 1970s about a coming ice age & they will say yes

And it was a real fear, too. Back then people used to know that a slight up, temporary fluctuations meant very little. But, every one was acutely aware of the meaning of cooling climate because of the lessons from the past, especially in Europe.

I don't have to "Google ", I'm old enough to remember pretty well the time. The winter of 78 paralyzed good chunks of Europe to degree not seen in over a generation.
I know, you're really old.
And your memory of when you were a little boy in the old country is what you still think of instead of just reading the news about the climate.

You should know that the world has and continues to change.
Listen to the kids.

Anyone has any clue as to how a climate change alarmist's
preparation for the heat wave hitting GTA this week differs
from that of a climate change denier?

I'll be staying indoor as much as I can. I have left
setting of the AC fan in my residence at a moderate level
to keep temp in the 22--25 deg range. 20 deg is more
comfortable to me but I want to cut down utility expense.
I have no plan to install a solar panel to power my AC. But
when the weather is more seasonal I will just turn it off during
the night and use a cool air fan in my bedroom instead.

I comprehend the study I linked perfectly. Reliable temperature recording has only been around less than 200 years. Notwithstanding that, based on the best evidence and current scientific tools, the UK was just as hot as it is now about 2000 years ago (Roman times), except that manmade carbon emissions could not have been the cause (calling into question the assertion that current temperature increases MUST be because of human activity, and calling into question the cataclysmic predictions based on current temperatures). Further study would, no doubt, show that the UK has been as hot, or hotter, dozens or THOUSANDS of times earlier in the long history of the planet.

Your myopic focus on the last 100 years is a lot like judging the slope of the land by only staring at your feet!

As to your inexplicable laughing fit, I see that a lot in documentaries about psychopaths.

#1 only in developed countries
#2 There is a biased towards urban areas & airports - urban island heat effect
#3. 2/3 of the planet is ocean & the sea surface temp record is not reliable - Argo system -,maybe 20 years
# 4 The coverage in artic & Antarctic regions is extremely sparce - A whole pile of colder stations were lost when the USSR fell apart- Canada apparently also lost a number of northern stations

Look at the difference between the number of northern stations in 1976 & 1997-- hey no bloody wonder the data says it is a tad warmer

ROTFLMFAO!! now I know you're either clueless or an arrested development teenager.
Frankie is now taking his climate cues from an activist teenager who's been brainwashed and used by eco terrorists. I don't even know what to say other than he should feel shame.

Yup. Also no weather stations in mountains, forests or deserts which comprise over 60% of the total land surface of the planet.
Furthermore, these weather stations and the methodologies used differed by country. The U.S. has by far the most reliable historical weather record of any country.
At least until NOAA started to fudge the numbers.

Honestly? I don't care if they take advice from a year old turd, but, what's scary, is the shit they want to do to us based on that advice.

The next time one of the lunatic climate activists glues themselves to a work of art, its time for that work of art to be put into storage for two years

So all those folks in Europe who never really needed air conditioners in the past can just pound salt?...
