Mysterious ways, and all that. :)
I remember being grilled and grilling others on hairspray useage, while pictures of blizzards were shown on TV and in science films at school.
And how utterly annoyed I was when the new ice age fell totally off the radar screen and then global warming appeared several years later.
I vowed then to support what I had always supported, the prudent stewardship of our resources and respect for the earth. I'll let the scientists fight over the consequences of failing to do so. It's enough to me that it is, in my opinion, the right thing to do.
I really can't recall the science that was supposedly involved. Something about chlorofluorocarbons blocking out important elements of the suns rays? However, the entire theory has apparently been abandoned so I probably shouldn't pick up reading "The Cooling" even if I haven't tossed the book.
