Figure 1: Number of papers classified as predicting global cooling (blue) or warming (red). In no year were there more cooling papers than warming papers (Peterson 2008).

The global cooling myth
http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?p=94
If it was not for George Kukla’s letter to President Nixon in 1972 most of the climate agencies and institutions that are about now would not have happened.
His great concerns in that letter was that of it’s time, namely Global Cooling and it is what initiated the building of government climate science institutions.
Your comment is demeaning of those scientists of those days, and is to insult and degrade the work of those who were there at the time. Please read and understand your history before making foolish comments and propagate a myth.
As Orwell said ‘Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.’ You are attempting to rewrite history and you are wrong.
Thank-you

Tom, I’m not demeaning the scientists, but noticed this from your first link:
“…Kukla believes that all glacial periods in earth’s history began with global warming (understood as an increase of the area-weighted average global mean surface temperature). He believes Earth’s recent warming is mostly natural and will gradually lead to the substantial increase of the surface temperature difference between the warming tropics and the cooling subpoles. Consequently this is how the next ice age will begin.”
The end of the last interglacial was about 3 C. warmer than now, but I doubt that there was an increase in tropics vs poles temp differential, but rather the opposite, and AGW science predicts reduced delta T.
An interesting ‘selection’ you’ve taken. And you have obviously goty dumbed down reading the 97% crap at SKS. So let me put ypu straight – the letter sent to Nixon, and what he acted on, was about Global Cooling fears. Not anything else, so stop trying to twist it. It was global cooling. Repeat after me GLOBAL COOLING!
There is no doubt this later got changed BUT at the time, about 1967 to about 1977, cooling was the big fear that was pushed to the public by the government of the day and the scientific advisers of the time.
To come out with a trot of nonsence from the likes of 97%crapSKS site is a gross deservice to the pioneers of those days.
97%crapSKS site has nothing scientific to offer as should be evident by the Australian UQ and (Field Mashal) Cook fiasco, and the takedowns that (LunieLew) Lewandowsky had to do.
My survey says that 100% of Cook’s surveys are bogus.
Steven,
Those who decided to deceive the public in 1945 had a noble goal in mind: “To save the world from the threat of nuclear annihilation.”
They just chose the wrong means. Now that their mistake has been disclosed, skeptics and believers of AGW alike need to work together for the benefit of society.
You others on this blog may have the talents and the wisdom to help promote a peaceful end to the 69 year nightmare.
bobmaginnis –
Even if we trust Skeptical Science numbers, the QUANTITY of papers published per year predicting cooling vs. warming are irrelevant to the discussion. A greater quantity implies consensus, and science is not done by consensus. Besides, a greater quantity of models predicted no pause in warming over the past 15 years.
I suppose you also have no criticism of the methodology of the surveys used to create the “97% consensus.” They would never make it into a respected medical journal.
Liberals also pull this stupid “quantity” argument when they say how many IRS or Benghazi documents they release, stating it is proof that the scandals are phoney, all while withholding or heavily redacting the smoking gun emails and memos.
All that proves is that Cook and Nutti are trying to rewrite history. A history they are too young to have lived through. That makes them Orwellian propagandists not scientists.
There was a “Global Cooling Scare” I was taking geology courses at University at the time and it was even discussed in class along with Shackleton’s work. So PROVABLE lies like that at SKS make me discount everything that is written at SKS.
From a former editor of New Scientist, a physicist who was a science reporter for the BBC at the time:
Kukla and Matthews’ alert to President Richard Nixon resulted in this CIA report of 1974:
Alarmist deniers deny that there ever was an Ice Age scare.
Denialism all the way down. 😉
The whole CAGW scam is predicated on CO2 correlating with global temperature. Here are a few more irrelavent correlations.
I particularly think there maybe some truth in the close correlation between divorce and margerine consumption….

One thing about Bryson – He never flipped to warm monger. He was debunking AGW until his death.
And…. while the path getting there may not be linear, his warning of cooling may turn out to be right on.
Unfortunately I am afraid you may be correct. The “Global Cooling Scare” came from actual scientists. CAGW came from politicians looking for a “Crisis” to push.
In the 1970s I worked as a climatologist in the Geophysical Monitoring for Climate Change unit of NOAA. Contrary to what Bob Maginnis says, I would say that most people were concerned about the cooling than going on, with some thinking it would continue. Even Stephen Schneider of NCAR was in that camp at that time (see the Genesis Strategy).
I remember one day receiving a panic filled call about global cooling. It seems the person on the other end of the line was looking at their pyranometer readings and noticed a sharp drop in recorded solar radiation in recent years. They were using the old light bulb like pyranometers from the Eppley Laboratories. The drop off in their recordings was caused by changes in the absorption paint which slowly turned from black to green. The problem was well known among instrument people. Unfortunately, theoretical climatologists took these measurements to be correct and attributed decreased recordings to increased aerosols in the atmosphere. Many of these people still hold to that opinion. There was no increase in worldwide aerosols at this time, because, if true, the number of stars visible at night would have decreased. That did not happen.
I lived in Germany during the ice age scare, and can confirm it was not just a few Nixonian spooks, residents of tiny alpine towns had also read the news and were very concerned about advancing glaciers.
It would take a natural variability denier to deny what many of us experienced first hand. If there were people discussing warming, they received as much coverage as skeptics today.

There thats better. {:>D
Even i can remember ,when i was a small child,that in the 70ies global cooling was
the agenda on tv.
That’s why i got very confused and scepticwhen i heard about the global warming in the 90ies.
Now i know i was right.
Sadly many people have almost no long time memory and others have zero intellectual integrity.
They will sell themselves and their whole families for a lie as long as they
get some cheap and fast karma.
Just give them a chance to “save” nature or support minorities and they will do it by ignoring reality as good as they can.
50 or 60 years from 1971 to the start of a mini-Ice Age? Could be about right.
I was a young teen in the 70s I remember the ice scares the no food no oil etc etc
japcrap 4cyl cars and all the rest
we still got too many 4cy cars..lost our lovely V8s
but we sure havent run short of anything else.
except some common sense..we shoulda had the agwmob committed
and idiots like crook and co,
an embarrassment for Aus.
