"We simply cannot afford to gamble this possibility by ignoring it. We cannot risk inaction. Those scientists who say we are entering a period of climate instability are acting irresponsibly. The indications that our climate can soon change for the worse are too strong to be reasonably ignored."
- Lowell Ponte, "The Cooling", 1976 Prentice Hall (Books)
This is a quote from only 30 years ago on gobal cooling, the impending ice age that was supposed to have overtaken us by now and the question, will we survive it. Here is a quote from Lowell Ponte today:
"But the Leftist press continues to quote bug and flower scientists about global warming - including doomsayers who three decades ago were predicting a fast-approaching, planet-freezing ice age. I should know, being author of the 1976 Prentice-Hall bestselling climate book The Cooling."
If you are open to being personally challanged on this issue, read "The Skeptical Environmentalist." The author of this book, a Danish statistician and Green Peace activist, set out to prove wrong the claims of Julian Simon who said that these current environmental fears are unfounded and that the world was actually improving. Throughout his research he found that Simon was more right than wrong and book reflects the outcomes resulting from his research.
