The last "mini ice age", which started with the end of the midieval warm period, ended in the 1800s. We've been warming since the mid 1800s. Cooincidentally in conjunction with the rise of the industry. But you're right, in the mid 1970s, "mainstream scientists" had reached a "consensus" that we were entering another cooling. http://denisdutton.com/cooling_world.htm Allan -- 1983 300D 1966 230
