re: #178 Tiburon

Gee recusancy - the 70’s!?! I waz THERE, m’friend. It was Global Cooling back then and the incipient Ice Age. And the Club of Rome and Limits To Growth, which occupied a good year of my undergrad science studies.
THAT really proved out wonderfully, too! Those Computer Models, just can’t keep ‘em down!

Oh, please don’t be an idjit. The Coming Ice Age was based on the fact that CO2 had increased well beyond previous interglacial cycles and that we were due for cooling based on that simple fact.

It wasn’t until researchers turned that concept sideways and took a look at it that some bright boys said, “Well, what if our activities in burning fossil fuels have changed the paradigm?”

Remember what computer processing capacity was like back in the 70’s? Not nearly advanced enough to run modern climate models.
