From Godfatherpolitics.com, a very revealing look at the insane desire to predict future events. Weather is unpredictable and even with the most modern tools the meteorologist or climatologist has, they cannot accurately tell you what the exact temperature (even giving them a two degree buffer) will be tomorrow in Detroit. The forecast gets less accurate the further into the future you go. To think they can tell us what world wide temperatures will be 50 years from now is foolhardy as the Newsweek article referred to in the following post so clearly illustrates.
Humans want to control their environment, yet Mother Nature has other plans. We will never be able to stop a tornado, a hurricane, earthquakes and other natural phenomena It is part of living on this rock we all Earth. It happens.
We have tried to put up dikes to control floods yet this is part of the natural process of rebuilding the soil on the river banks. Man is weak, yet our pride does not allow us to admit that fact.
The same thing goes for global warming or cooling or whatever else might be naturally occurring. This rock has been much warmer (thanks to that darn dinosaur poop) and cooler (thanks to that darn mastodon manure). We believe that both of these events were before humans built cars, factories and "ruined the environment." Some of the same areas of the world have been tropical forests and later covered with ice flows.
Assuming that human activity can change the weather system of the world is so outrageous, it is comical. One only has to look at how human activity stands up to hurricanes, tornadoes or floods. We are literally a "flea on an elephants ass!"

In 1975 Deadly Tornadoes Based on Global Cooling
The tragic deaths in Oklahoma will be used be Global Warming attacks as prima facie evidence that Global Warming is real and the government needs to do something about it. That will mean, of course, a loss of freedoms and more taxes to pay.
History and facts can be irritating to people who have an agenda to feed. These agenda pushers feed on ignorance. The less people know, the easier they are to control.
In 1975, an article was published that blamed Global Cooling for weird and destructive weather.
“There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production – with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth. The drop in food output could begin quite soon, perhaps only 10 years from now. The regions destined to feel its impact are the great wheat-producing lands of Canada and the U.S.S.R. in the North, along with a number of marginally self-sufficient tropical areas – parts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indochina and Indonesia – where the growing season is dependent upon the rains brought by the monsoon.
“The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it. In England, farmers have seen their growing season decline by about two weeks since 1950, with a resultant overall loss in grain production estimated at up to 100,000 tons annually. During the same time, the average temperature around the equator has risen by a fraction of a degree – a fraction that in some areas can mean drought and desolation. Last April [1974], in the most devastating outbreak of tornadoes ever recorded, 148 twisters killed more than 300 people and caused half a billion dollars’ worth of damage in 13 U.S. states.
“To scientists, these seemingly disparate incidents represent the advance signs of fundamental changes in the world’s weather. The central fact is that after three quarters of a century of extraordinarily mild conditions, the earth’s climate seems to be cooling down. Meteorologists disagree about the cause and extent of the cooling trend, as well as over its specific impact on local weather conditions. But they are almost unanimous in the view that the trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century. If the climatic change is as profound as some of the pessimists fear, the resulting famines could be catastrophic. “A major climatic change would force economic and social adjustments on a worldwide scale,” warns a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences, “because the global patterns of food production and population that have evolved are implicitly dependent on the climate of the present century.”
The last paragraph of the article is predictable. The government was called on to do something. One proposal was to melt the Arctic ice cap:
“Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.”
From the April 28, 1975 issue of NEWSWEEK magazine.
