(45,450 posts)9. Global cooling
I see that nonsense promoted by wingnuts from time to time.
Even now we have clickbait headlines that have willfully misrepresented the content of scientific studies.
http://science.time.com/2013/06/06/sorry-a-time-magazine-cover-did-not-predict-a-coming-ice-age/
But as John Cook points out over at Skeptical Science, global cooling was much more an invention of the media than it was a real scientific concern.
And some of those global-cooling projections were based on the idea that aerosol levels in the atmosphere which are a product of air pollution from sources like coal burning and which contribute to cooling by deflecting sunlight in the atmosphere would keep rising. But thanks to environmental legislation like the Clean Air Acts, global air-pollution levels not including greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide peaked in the 1970s and began declining.

There were also studies about the effects of coolants and refrigerants which were misunderstood and spun into bovine excrement by the media.

that was McFarland's defense for passing the hoax to Trump.
FAKE BUT ACCURATE! An adult human actually said that and expected to be taken seriously.
