Climate Change 1958: The Bell Telephone Science Hour

Support Climate Denial Crock of the Week- go to:
http://www.climatecrocks.com

The famous Bell Telephone Hour clip, with the all knowing Dr Frank Baxter explaining a very modern understanding of climate science in 1958.
Enlightening and infuriating.
Show this to your ditto head buddy who thinks global warming was invented by Al Gore.

Many people have seen this on other sites, but I thought it would be good to make it part of the Climate Crocks playlist.

DANG! 1958!!!! We should all be dead by now! Silly then, silly NOW. Volcanos release more junk into the atmosphere in one day than humans do in 50 years!

[greenman3610]

volcanoes nonsense handled many moons ago.

You are using 1990's denial talking points, please try to keep up.

[NoTolerance4Dummies]

There is a difference between denying global warming and denying the authenticity of certain "facts" that are presented. Unfortunately, addressing climate change is no longer being done for humanity's sake. Now, scientists--particularly at the IPCC--have begun to cherry pick which data they will accept or ignore, based on politics. This is shameful. Don't tell us that human breath (carbon dioxide) causes global warming, if this is false. Stick to the facts, and stop sabotaging your efforts.

[greenman3610]

anyone that thinks "human breath" is the source of the additional carbon in the atmosphere should redo third grade science.

OR, since I am here to help, you could just watch this -

what's kyiv?

[greenman3610]

I think they did pay. Gore's sister died of lung cancer. It was part of his awakening.

[greenman3610]

since I already corrected you on this once, this is no longer ignorance. You are a liar.

Sorry, no. I have to stick with real climate scientists and the world's peer-reviewed publications.

Even the world's Navies are preparing to patrol the Arctic Ocean once it's COMPLETELY clear of ice. Commercial ships are traveling 'over the top' now, and countries are claiming underwater drilling rights.

Look at this for just one example: (here on the Tube): CBBEyJVj5MY

That's exactly what's happening, according to a website which I am not allowed to type here, but its called ice age now dot com.  An ice age IS coming! Global warmers are way off the mark according to these guys. An ice age is coming soon. The post-little ice age warming is ending. Glaciers are starting to ADVANCE.

[RechargeableLithium]

Unfortunately, absent humans, the planet should be starting a cooling cycle the trends to the next ice age. Oops.

[hazimta]

I can't believe it!!!!

Despite all that's been happening there are ppl out there still buying into big industry evil conniving trickery .....I guess some enjoy to have their brain washed on daily bases

[acs197]

I suppose you need to see the oceans rise with your own eyes then.

[alexander wanda]

I DON'T IGNORE facts. I IGNORE lies.

[acs197]

Sticking fingers in your ears and shouting, "I don't believe you! You're just telling lies!" Doesn't change what is truly happening to the planet's climate. It is incredibly childish to ignore the facts and believe what you want because it fits your political or economic ideology.

Al Gore is awake?? who would've known!
