"the scam restarted but this time with warming, since the cooling scam didn't work"

Then evolved into Climate Change since a changing climate is a safe bet either way. I'm sure CJ knows the answer.....since he knows everything......Why did it get it get changed to "Climate Change?"

As I have show on several occasions, global cooling was a phenomenon of the press. In climatology circles, only a small fraction of papers were on global cooling, most were on global warming. And even then, the number declined over time.

Like I have pointed out, I learned about global warming in the mid-1970s. In the early 1980s the possibility of the ice caps melting causing sudden rises in sea level was in the media. So your connection between the fall of the USSR and global warming just isn't consistent with reality.

Not that you have ever let that stop you before...

"scam was global cooling in the 70s. that fell apart and when reagan destroyed the USSR"

You're thinking of the "nuclear freeze" that was supposed to occur when the USSR sent nukes after us..... The dirt going in to the atmosphere would block out the sun and cause severe global cooling.....
