The question raised that the world was much warmer in the past as posed by another is never addressed by global warming fearmongers.

At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, "The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind." C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorological Organization said, "The cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed." In 1968, Professor Paul Ehrlich, Vice President Gore's hero and mentor, predicted there would be a major food shortage in the U.S. and "in the 1970s ... hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death." Ehrlich forecasted that 65 million Americans would die of starvation between 1980 and 1989, and by 1999 the U.S. population would have declined to 22.6 million. Ehrlich's predictions about England were gloomier: "If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000."
Good note.

And frankly, if we do have global cooling it will be much more devastating than global warming.

If our leaders were smart and had the best interests of the people in mind they would be working on ways to accommodate global warming or global cooling rather than fighting it because it's going to happen regardless of what humans do.

Meanwhile the polar ice caps are shrinking.

In Glacier National Park many of the glaciers are gone. In another half century there will be no more glaciers in Glacier National Park
With the deniers, it's all about them failing to understand the difference between "weather" and "climate".

*Deliverance music* "Tain't no warmin' cause it just SNOWED outsahde!"

I would go into it again, but it'd be like trying to put out a wildfire with a garden hose...

Global Ice Viewer

And I thought NASA was all about space....... when did they become experts on the cause of selected ice caps melting?

Yes, and we heard predictions like that many times before...... Anybody can predict anything in "another half century".
