Ricochet 2 <| sep |> Nobody is a perfect skier . <| sep |> Just picked up some 320 grit emory tape . We ' ll see how it goes . <| sep |> Stat padding by scoring 71 . Lmao that ' s just kinda ridiculous to think someone would say , yeah I need 71 for the Scoring Title and then doing it . Honestly thats kinda admirable . <| sep |> Thanks , have checked it out and now have a much better understanding <| sep |> THE PROPHECY HAS COME TRUE SO FAR SIR <| sep |> The 1970 s ice age stuff is largely a popular media conflation of two separate research strands which were happening at the time 1 Research into glacial cycles , pointing to the fact that we are currently in a warm phase , and would therefore expect cooling in the future all else being equal . But importantly this was on scales of millennia to tens of millennia , and there wasn ' t any idea that we would necessarily do anything about it , other than perhaps emit some CO 2 to warm us up . 2 Research into climate impact from anthropogenic aerosol emissions sulfate aerosols primarily . It was found that these anthropogenic emissions were having a large cooling influence on the planet and the prevailing emissions trend over the previous decades suggested the effect could have dominated CO 2 warming and caused longterm net cooling . It ' s actually not clear that this was wrong , the basics are still very much accepted science now . What happened in this case was that governments introduced strong controls in order to reduce these emissions in the late 70 s though I think largely for health reasons rather than climate and consequently there was little further cooling influence to the present . Did that action cause major problems ?
