“After his capture, Einhorn thumbed his nose at American authorities by appearing on television shows to discuss his plight and sipping wine while posing naked for photographers in his garden.”

"he murdered and “composted” his estranged girlfriend, Helen “Holly” Maddux, back in 1977."

Well, say what you will, but was good about following "leave no trace" policies with his main squeeze.

"[One] theory assumes that the earth's cloud cover will continue to thicken as more dust, fumes, and water vapor are belched into the atmosphere by industrial smokestacks and jet planes. Screened from the sun's heat, the planet will cool, the water vapor will fall and freeze, and a new Ice Age will be born." — Newsweek magazine
"The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age." — Kenneth Watt


Gentlemen, we have CONSENSUS!

When my kid was told to write a report about "global warming" this was 10 years ago when it was not changed to "climate change," I provided her as source material an expose by George Will about "global cooling" with 5 different freakout articles referenced from the 1970's.

The children, they be our future, ya know!
