Thanks for helping make the argument. Our “recorded history“ covers something like .00000001% of the earths know existance.
Maybe you should ask Desert Hound where he got his evidence for this statement --

So in the past the climate around the globe has fluctuated wildly. Being vastly colder and vastly warmer countless times throughout Earths history. None of those events were due to human activity and none of them caused global catastrophe. This is the normal variation of the Earths climate.

According to your point, it can't be from "recorded history".

This might help, if you read it carefully --

So are you claiming that the Ice Age did not exist
?

You know what didnt happen?

Catastrophe as in runaway global warming.

The earth has always fluctuated wildly in temperatures. A natural thing.

And yet somehow we think this time it is different?
 
Funny thing is people think that the climate should always be stable.

You see stupid comments in papers or by politicians that a drought affecting the Western US is caused by manmade global warming.

And yet events like this have happened all the time.

About a thousand years ago as one of many examples a culture called the Anasazi thrived in NM/CO. Suddenly or over a rather quick period of time that culture vanished. The accepted explanation is the climate changed...ie extended period of years of drought...which forced them to leave.

5-10k yrs ago the Sahara was a rainforest.

The planet is always changing.
 
That's my recollection of the claims of the time:

"that there had been a gradual decrease in global average temperatures from about 1940, now believed to be a consequence of soot and aerosols that offered a partial shield to the earth as well as the gradual retreat of an abnormally warm interlude."

Pollution, both air and water, was the big environmental issue of the 70's which resulted in a significant improvement in both in many communities. We should continue to pursue measures improving air and water quality because we have a proven record of success in these areas. Changing our climate? Good freaking luck.

So close, but you just missed it.

I don't dispute anything in the article. I'm not sure what you think it proves, nor does it contradict anything I've said. The article starts out like there is going to be some stellar rebuke of the cooling theory, when it just recounted the circumstances around the article in Newsweek. It was a an oft repeated theory at that time that pollution (and/or aerosols, soot, etc) was shielding the earth from the sun's rays.

This was in the article --

But there also was a small but growing counter-theory that carbon dioxide and other pollutants accompanying the Industrial Age were creating a warming belt in the atmosphere, and by about 1980 it was clear that the earth's average temperature was headed upward.

You are not disputing that?
