Industrial production and coal-fired power plants were exploding worldwide after World War II. Carbon dioxide release into the atmosphere was also increasing rapidly.
Hundreds of scientific papers have documented that global temperatures appeared to have been declining between the 1950s and late 1970s.
But today’s government-funded scientists seem to ignore this data–or pretend that it never existed. Government agencies appear to have “adjusted” the global temperature drop of the 1970s so that it is barely visible in modern temperature data sets.
