The 'Old' Consensus?
INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
| Quote: | Climate Change: Did NASA scientist James Hansen, the global warming alarmist in chief, once believe we were headed for . . . an ice age? An old Washington Post story indicates he did.
On July 9, 1971, the Post published a story headlined "U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming." It told of a prediction by NASA and Columbia University scientist S.I. Rasool. The culprit: man's use of fossil fuels.
The Post reported that Rasool, writing in Science, argued that in "the next 50 years" fine dust that humans discharge into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel will screen out so much of the sun's rays that the Earth's average temperature could fall by six degrees.
Sustained emissions over five to 10 years, Rasool claimed, "could be sufficient to trigger an ice age." |

The prospect of government grants and MSM recognition can cause all sorts of ideology changes within the scientific community. If solar scientists are correct, and we are about to enter another little ice age, then he will be leading the charge in that direction soon, I would imagine.
