Twenty five years ago, the doom and gloomers were warning us to
prepare for the next ice age. Don't belive me, do a search for the
New York Times. I believe March of 1976.
They went on and on about the loss of crops due to extreme cold
lasting into June. Not enough fuel to heat our homes in the extreme
frigid cold about to hit the US. And on and on.............

Dear Ectomorph:

Do a search for peer-reviewed publications in mainstream technical
journals from that era that predicted there would be an ice age. You
won't find them. You won't believe me, but alas, you are also incapable
of even beginning to understand how such a literature search might be
conducted (or you would have done it already and discovered that writing
the thing you did above makes you look at best semi-retarded).
Therefore, I predict you will be limited to responding with more
insults, and maybe if I am lucky a link or two to some wack website with
a mangled citation that when examined closely will not back your point.
Such is the lot of you all on the lunatic fringe.

I suggest you stockpile guns, food, and medicine. Thinking those things
will protect you from all the bogeymen in the world might ease the
gnawing fear inside you.

p.s. Loved the explanation of gravity. It fits with the semi-retarded
assessment of mine above. Do you also have a webpage where you have a
personal theory of how some major theory in physics is wrong? Maybe
you're an "an inertial drive *is* possible" kind of a guy? Whatever,
send me the link. Thanks.
