Are Humans Responsible for Global Warming? - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

Greetings:

What is your opinion on the global warming issue? As with any controversial topic, “experts” tend to be pretty evenly divided on both sides.

According to a Times magazine story in June 24, 1974 (with others to follow), we were on the verge of another great ice age. Now, a mere 33 years later, they say to roll up your pant legs because the melting ice caps will be raising oceans levels at a coastline near you. :?:

Then - https://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,944914,00.html

Now - https://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,1176980,00.html

I will not re-hash the details here since if you have come here to vote, you probably have already formed an opinion.

You do not need to log on to vote, but you can only vote once. Thanks for your participation.

I think there's a mistake in your Time magazine 'Then' ref. The article is about political tensions, not a global cooling trend.

Greetings darrly:

Thanks for pointing out the incorrect URL. I'll fix it tomorrow. Cranial rectumitis on my part.

It is now tomorrow, and the correct URL is now in the original post. The headline titles were the same, but had different story lines. Sorry for the error.
