Ellensburg Daily Record – Dec 7, 1988
Scientists predict average global temperatures could increase between 4 and 9 degrees in the next 50 years due to the accumulation of industrial emissions in the atmosphere, particularly carbon dioxide, which is released by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil
The obvious sarcastic comment here is “The science is settled”. But it’s nicer to know what side of history you’re on when you read daily erroneous predictions just like this one.
American journalists will be the last ones on earth to openly question alarmist science. But at least it is starting to happen in Europe.

These predictions are for the shock value of the moment. No one is expected to be held accountable for something like this. It’s political science, not real science.
“And the prophet spoke thusly:
“In two score years and ten, She shall send a great heat, and the earth shall be cracked and groaning and the seas shall boil, and there will be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth”. Thus the prophet switched off the air conditioning and cried “Repent from thy evil CO2 ways, yea verily shall come unto the chosen, the windmill and the solar panel.” And She saw that it was good.”
Hansen 14:27 – From the Book of the Church of Climatology
William Wallace thought that the Scottish had naught to fear. The people who once took on the English and won, are scared of the weather.

Bob: Shock value yes, but the obvious response to that is, when these alarmists make these statements, they obviously want people to believe them as true, largely because many of them have truly convinced themselves that their alarmism is actually true and justifies deception. But, if these statements truly are deceptions, how can a rational person know they are false, and yet convince themselves that their own lies are true, and then base their future actions on the falsehoods they have created themselves? And the leaders with agendas, who knowingly lie about the alarmist agenda manipulate the self-deluded zealots for their own evil agenda. Witness the OWS phenomenon. Totally manipulated into supporting the cause they profess to loathe. And useful idiots always make their presence known, because they are such stooges, or more appropriately, Queslings.
