- gameoverhumans 3y agoYour own link points out that "... less than 10% were inclined towards future cooling, while most papers predicted future warming." Even if that were not to be the case, I'm still not sure why it would be relevant in any kind of good-faith discussion/debate about our rapidly changing global climate. 1970-1980 was a ten year period, forty years ago.
- ben_w 3y ago> Some press reports in the 1970s speculated about continued cooling; these did not accurately reflect the scientific literature of the time, which was generally more concerned with warming from an enhanced greenhouse effect And the term "Gell-Mann amnesia effect" wouldn't be coined for another few decades.
