Here's a story Time Magazine ran in '74 http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...944914,00.html

If you're quoting Time Magazine as your climate "expert", you've
pretty much shot yourself in the mouth right at the start. Who does
that article quote as "scientists"? Well, Reid A. Bryson and Donald
Oilman, both of whom are now widely quoted AGAINST the concept of
global warming, and Kenneth Hare, who is quoted as saying that if the
drought continues people will go hungry, with no reference to cooling.
In fact, what Hare said re cooling was: "The slow cooling trend in
parts of the northern hemisphere during the last few decades is
similar to others of natural origin in the past, and thus whether it
will continue or not is unknown".

So, your "experts" who were so wrong and can't be believed, consist of
Time magazine, quoting two experts who now have built on their
previous erroneous stance by being widely quoted as saying there is no
global warming. Thanks, that's another point against those two what-
climate-change spokescritters.

See, it's this kind of dumbass logical inability to think straight,
for even the simplest arguments about who said what, demonstrated by
the what-climate-change brain trust again and again, in every single
post, which makes it impossible to take anything you guys say
seriously.
