(Zoo challenges tet to show him the "Ice age" textbook)
(tet switches to a magazine)
Did he say it was a textbook you disingenuous moron?
Yep. And Zoo called him on it. But there was no such book, so he substituted a magazine.
I posted a very large group of newspaper, magazine, & science journal clippings from the mid seventies which touted the same thing as this magazine.
Newspapers and magazines. Which journal of climatology did you cite?
Are you a "denier" that scientists did believe we were headed to an ice age in the mid-seventies?
Well, let's take a look...

The Myth of the 1970s Global Cooling Scientific Consensus
Climate science as we know it today did not exist in the 1960s and 1970s. The integrated enterprise embodied in the Nobel Prizewinning work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change existed then as separate threads of research pursued by isolated groups of scientists. Atmospheric chemists and modelers grappled with the measurement of changes in carbon dioxide and atmospheric gases, and the changes in climate that might result. Meanwhile, geologists and paleoclimate researchers tried to understand when Earth slipped into and out of ice ages, and why. An enduring popular myth suggests that in the 1970s the climate science community was predicting “global cooling” and an “imminent” ice age, an observation frequently used by those who would undermine what climate scientists say today about the prospect of global warming. A review of the literature suggests that, on the contrary, greenhouse warming even then dominated scientists' thinking as being one of the most important forces shaping Earth's climate on human time scales. More importantly than showing the falsehood of the myth, this review describes how scientists of the time built the foundation on which the cohesive enterprise of modern climate science now rests.
Hmm... not exactly what you told us...
This is not at all what you told us it was. Notice that even in the 70s, most climatologists anticipated warming, and that as evidence accumulated, more and more of those that didn't, began to accept that warming was coming.
At some point, you're going to have to make a truce with reality. Sooner the better.
Are you that intellectually dishonest that you would deny the fact that they (scientists) had it wrong back then?
And I deny that Mitt Romney is president. For the same reason. I was there, then, doing science in graduate school. There's no point in you trying to sell that story to me. I was there.
