Koan, in the 70's schools were teaching that we were entering a mini ice age. Where? Not where I went to school. In fact, I was taught the observed 17 cm rise in sea level that had been recorded since the turn of the century was likely due to thermal expansion because they had ruled out all the other likely sources. That was circa 1978 at the Moody School of Marine Science and Maritime Resources in Galveston. So, if you have some proof, better trot it out. I say this is yet another wingnut myth. The whole new ice age thing was in the popular media, but that isn't the same thing as the prevailing scientific thought of the time. By the early 1980s, even the popular media had come around to global warming. I remember having discussions about the ice caps melting around that time. Being in Galveston, talk of 10 meter rise in sea level gets your attention... Granted, McMannis claims he learned differently. But he went to school in Florida. IIRC, they were teaching creation science there...
