1970s - "The earth is cooling, we will all die! [We will] tax and spend to solve the problem!"



2000s - "The earth is warming, we will all die! [We will] tax and spend to solve the problem!"

In contrast to the global cooling conjecture, the current scientific opinion on climate change is that the Earth has not durably cooled, but undergone global warming throughout the twentieth century."
