“I have faith in the people. …. The danger Is, they are misled. Let them know the truth, and the country is safe ”
– Abraham Lincoln
In 1990, Al Gore said it was unethical for scientists to report factual information about climate.

Eighty years ago the US government explained why increasing levels of CO2 would not have a significant impact on the climate.
“Much has been written about varying amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a possible cause of glacial periods. The theory received a fatal blow when it was realized that carbon dioxide is very selective as to the wave lengths of radiant energy it will absorb, filtering nut only such waves as even very minute quantities of water vapor dispose of anyway. No probable Increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide could materially affect either the amount of insolation reaching the surface or the amount of terrestrial radiation lost to space.”
Sixty years ago, the New York Times reported a unanimous global cooling consensus.
Ten years ago, the Texas state climatologist predicted the state would stay in drought through 2020, but meteorologists said weather can’t be predicted that far in the future.

In 1974, an MIT professor compared climate forecasting to necromancy – talking with the dead.
“I don’t think we can predict climate now and I wouldn’t trust any-one who said he could. The atmosphere is just too complex to take some of these vague statistics and try to use them to predict with You can always find a single physical mechanism that will ’cause’ one thing or another, but when you take them all together, it just gets too complicated, Worse yet are those ‘weather forecasters’ who say that they can predict the weather months in advance Anyone who says he can tell you more than a few days ahead of time what the weather is going to be is practicing necromancy,”
Six years ago, the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado showed a lot of five year old ice during week 41 (October 5-11.) They track the ice constantly so that they know how old it is.

But when they published the week 41 data a few months later, they made much of the five year old ice disappear.

NASA temperature graphs are about as credible as Joe Biden’s presidency.
Five years ago the New York Times said global warming causes warm winters. Now they say global warming causes cold winters.
