The Myth of the 1970s "Global Cooling" Scientific Consensus
There was no scientific consensus in the 1970s that the Earth was headed into an imminent ice age.
Indeed, the possibility of anthropogenic warming dominated the peer-reviewed literature even then.

Not sure why this image is not working. Sorry.
Try again
Republicans and oil motivated conservatives know they are on the outside and downside on this and all other issues so they are required to make fake stories up.
This one is similar to the neoconfederate racist technique of rewriting history and feeding those falsehoods as facts to receptive racist southern idiots who will repeat the
myth as fact.
An ice age myth is probably originally sourced to 1970s National Enquirer.
"This, in a very brief nutshell, was the state of climate science in the 1970s. And so the media of the time published many stories about a coming ice age, which made for timely reading during some very cold winters. But many news stories also mentioned that other important detail about CO2: that our climate might soon change due to global warming. In 1976 Time published “The World’s Climate: Unpredictable” which is a very good summary of the then current scientific thinking: some scientists emphasized aerosols and cooling, some scientists emphasized CO2 and warming. There was no consensus either way. Many other 1970s articles which mention a Coming Ice Age also mention the possibility of increased warming due to CO2. For instance, here, here and here.
Fake-skeptics read these stories and only focus on the Coming Ice Age angle, and they enlarge the importance of those scientists who focused on that angle. They totally ignore the rest of the picture of 1970s climate science: that increasing CO2 would cause global warming."

Some big "ifs" there.
Trump is one of those Presidents that will inspire turnout for the opposition even if the economy is amazing, though. I hope the economy DOES boom. I don't think it makes a difference w/ Trump.
No one sane wants to see a loose cannon like that go unchecked.
And when Dems win big, I'll be sure to remind you of all of the times you said they couldn't win elections.
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017
Dems have too much to campaign on - it's such an ignorant myth that it's just "not Trump."
Let's start w/ your big tax plan. Once again, you've been conned - there is no way to spin that as anything but a giveaway to the very rich & the corporations. People aren't stupid; they can do math.
And then we can move onto healthcare. Dems own that issue. Trump & the GOP have bumbled it, and the expectation people have now is universal coverage. That ain't the GOP.
Oh, heck - then we can move onto foreign policy. No one wants a lunatic child playing one-upsmanship with crazy world leaders. They'll want a Congress who can keep said lunatic in check.
Women's rights, SCOTUS, the environment, et al. You don't know your history. You're caught up in the usual talk radio narrative that "this is really a conservative country." Americans never like to give one party power for too long - they like their checks and balances.
You're going to lose. Save this thread if you think I'm wrong.
