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

Hmm. Have to make this simple.

Your argument seems to be something like this:
1) "experts" in the 70s argued that global cooling is coming
2) they were wrong
3) "experts" now argue global warming is coming
4) so you don't put any faith in it.

Whereas, my argument is
3a) the few "experts" in the 70s who argued that global cooling are
coming, are the ones that are now arguing that global warming is NOT
coming; so you logically ought to not believe them, and believe the
folks who did not say global cooling was coming.-

PS: see also "They predicted a big hurricane season last year and it
was minimal, so I don't believe when they predict global warming", vs.
the fact that Dr. Bill Gray, the US' leading hurricane forcaster, who
predicted the big hurricane season that didn't come, is another of the
oft-quoted climate change skeptics.
