a 'follow up' to the 'europe doomed' article i submitted a while back :)

I have to praise and rip on partical man simultainiusly on this one. The piece was quite good and made good points. The title on the other hand was lame. The claim that the earth is doomed is a bit far fetched. I guess "earth doomed" sounds more impressive than substantial decline in quality of life. There is time to turn it around before it kills us all but we will likely be suffering some consequences

Global warming is widely accepted in the scientific community. Global cooling was never achieved acceptance by the scientific community. You say "the same experts were banging on about global cooling" As far as I know the experts sited in this article did no such thing. In fact some were likely childred or unborn at the time of the global cooling theory. Also I would think that since that theory was proposed in the 70s that some of those scientists are dead now.

If you are talking about scientist generally, Prior to breaking the sound barrier, Some scientists belived that it was impossible for a man to survive such speed. This theory was not overwhelmingly accepted and when reality demonstrated otherwise, it was abandoned.

Cool were gonna die!
