This is about the claim that climate scientists were predicting a new ice age in the 70s, and therefore should not be listened to now. The guy that made it is a science journalist from Australia.

In the October 23, 2006 edition Newsweek published an update:

More than 30 years later, that little story is still being quoted regularly—as recently as last month on the floor of the Senate by Republican Sen. James Inhofe, chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee and the self-proclaimed scourge of climate alarmists. The article’s appeal to Inhofe, of course, is not its prescience, but the fact that it was so spectacularly wrong about the near-term future…

Peter Gwynne, the author of the original 1975 Newsweek article, had this to say when asked if he would change anything if he could have a do over:

“I think possibly the only thing would be to add, ‘These things are never fixed in stone, the fact that there has been cooling in the early part of the century doesn’t mean that will continue,’ but I could have written that on the end of any science story I ever wrote. That’s kind of the nature of science and that’s why I ultimately decided not to do it.”

The guy that made the video has a couple more about the basics of climate change:

1. Climate Change — the scientific debate
2. Climate Change — the objections
