First, read these quotes from well known and widely accepted scientific experts.

“We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.”

“We have about five more years at the outside to do something.”

“Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”

“Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 2025 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….”

“Air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.”

“By the year 2040, if present trends continue, we will have completely used up all the Earth’s crude oil. There won’t be any more.”

“In 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”

“The world has been warming sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees warmer for the global mean temperature in 2030, but eleven degrees warmer in the year 2040. This is about twice what it would take to melt the ice caps and flood all the world’s coastlines.”

Sounds pretty bleak, don’t it? We’d better do something! We’d better all run out there and buy hybrids and cloth grocery bags and stop having kids to reduce our carbon footprint.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but all of the above statements were made in 1970, almost 40 years ago. I just changed the dates and some of the predictions (all in italics) to bring them in line with the current fear mongering of the eco-nazis.

You see, back in the 60’s and 70’s, it wasn’t global warming and ice caps melting that everyone was freaking out about. It was air pollution, over population, and the unstoppable ice age that would be caused by the global cooling that was going on back then. Here’s that last quote in it’s original form:

“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

Here’s another:

“Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India…By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.”

That’s right. According to the “almost unanimous,” “solid experimental and theoretical evidence,” of the most widely respected scientists of 1970, you shouldn’t be alive. We should be a solid 10 years into global starvation and an ice age!

So, next time you hear someone talking about the doom and gloom of global warming, or chastising you for your horrible carbon footprint, just tell them, “Sorry. There’s nothing I can do about it. We all died in the ice age 10 ago. But don’t worry, so did you. By the way, how’s that hole in the Ozone Layer doing? Haven’t heard about that lately.”

Here’s the complete article I pulled these quotes from. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share it with all you eco-nazi friends. And while you’re at it, you can forward these too.

Global temperature has been level since 1998, and it has nothing to do with human greenhouse emissions

Alaska glaciers grew in 2007-2008 due to colder weather
