1958 TV show on Global Warming — produced by Frank Capra!

 October 23, 2008

Plus ça change…

I guess it’s the 50th anniversary of ignoring warnings. Perhaps the show should have been titled, “Its a wonderful life — not!”

So Dr. Frank Baxter beats Dr. James Hansen by 23 years (see “Right for 27 years: 1981 Hansen study finds warming trend that could raise sea levels“).

As for the myth that climate scientists used to believe in global cooling a couple of decades ago, it has been utterly debunked in the scientific literature (see “Another denier talking point — ‘global cooling’ — bites the dust and links therein).

    If so, who wrote his script?
