Yes, but, 40 years ago gobal cooling was the the supposed problem we needed to resolve, and, of course, the only way it could be done was with significant impact (read, $$$$$$ CASH) cost to the populace, first for study and then any lifestyle changes deemed prudent. The same scientists involved with that hoax, during that era, that preach warming, today, really get pissed when one brings up that "inconvenient truth".
I don't buy the notion of the "pure scientist" any more than I buy the notion of the "noble savage". The alarm bells have supposedly been ringing off the hook my whole life, and, damn, if the sun still doesn't come up in the east and set in the west every day. Hard to fathom that 99% of all life forms that ever existed on planet earth are extinct, and it all (for the very most part) happened long before humans got here. The atmospheric carbon level has changed many times, dramatically, and humans have only been implicated once, it would seem.
I'm not too worried.
