Panic for profit

For at least 115 years, climate “scientists” have been claiming that the climate was going to kill us, But Now You Know points out that they have kept switching whether it was a coming ice age, or global warming.

The above diagram shows the global warming advocates chart overlaid on 120 years' worth of climate panic headlines, as set out in the rest of the article. "Not only is it clear that they take any change and claim it's going to go on forever and kill everyone, but notice that they even sometimes get the short-term trend wrong".

Worse still, notice that in 1933 they claim global warming has been going on for 25 years…the entire 25 years they were saying we were entering an ice age. And in 1974, they say there has been global cooling for 40 years…the entire time of which they’d been claiming the earth was getting hotter! Of course NOW they are talking about the earth “warming for the past century”, again ignoring that they spent much of that century claiming we were entering an ice age.

The fact is that the mean temperature of the planet is, and should be, always wavering up or down, a bit, because this is a natural world. So there will always be some silly bureaucrat, in his air-conditioned ivory tower, who looks at which way it’s going right now, draws up a chart as if this is permanent, realizes how much fear can increase his funding, and proclaims doom for all of humanity.

 The crunch is the next graph:

Next time you see the usual "global warming" chart, look carefully: it is in tiny fractions of one degree. The entire global warming is less than six tenths of one degree. Here is the global warming advocates' own chart, rendered in actual degrees like sane people use. I was going to use 0-100 like a thermometer, but you end up with almost a flat line, so I helped the advocates' side by making the temperature range much narrower, and made the chart needlessly tall to stretch the up-down differences in the line.
