I was totally put off by the programme description QUOTE In the 1970s the world seemed to be falling apart. From acid rain to overpopulation, ecological concerns were at the fore. And it was at this time that climate change first became a hot political issue. But it wasn't global warming that frightened scientists, it was the complete opposite; a new ice age. Dr Iain Stewart traces the history of climate change from its very beginning and examines just how the scientific community managed to get it so very wrong back in the Seventies. Perpetuating the old myth about global cooling in the 70's Totally incorrect: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?p=94 http://www.wmconnolley.org.uk/sci/iceage/ http://ams.allenpress.com/perlserv/?reques...2370.1&ct=1 Maybe this was addressed in the program, but the overview is inaccurate, either accidentally or intentionally to sensationalise the program. [Sigh] Very disappointing from the BBC. James -------------------- Twitter Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here
