Two concerns Aerosols Small particles (particulates) Natural – dust & volcanoes Manmade – “pollution” Natural end to interglacial Milankovitch cycles Shape of orbit Tilt Wobble See section 7 for more on Milankovitch Cycles
“The Cooling World” Applies to both cooling and warming! Which will dominate? When and how rapidly will current warm period come to an end?
More accurately . . .
The state of the science
Why “cooling”? See section 4 for more on the temperature record
The skeptics’ best shot
J. Murray Mitchell vs. Rasool & Schneider
J. Murray Mitchell vs. Rasool & Schneider, part 2 See section 1 for more on Suki Manabe
Wither aerosols? Aerosols did contribute to mid-century cooling Aerosols are short lived CO2 has a cumulative and long lasting effect on climate Reducing aerosol emissions makes global warming worse See section 13 for more on the “aerosol paradox” See section 14 for potential solutions See section 7
S. Fred Singer and the “hysterical fears” of the NAS “There, in 1975, the NAS ‘experts’ exhibited the same hysterical fears-this time, however, asserting a ‘finite possibility that a serious worldwide cooling could befall the Earth within the next 100 years.’”
Understanding Climatic Change
Pacemaker of the ice ages George F. Will “extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciation”
The verdict See section 1 for more on the Charney Report

Summary: One particular attack on the consensus requires its own section. If you have ever seen a debate about global warming on one of the popular talk shows, you have probably heard someone proclaim, “Scientists were predicting a new ice age in the ‘70s. Why should we believe them now?”
