I had planned to put several myths in this video, but discovered such an appalling web of deceit and fabrication in this first one that I felt I had no choice but to thoroughly debunk it. Like many ingrained myths, this one is so ubiquitous that it takes an awful lot of hard evidence to convince true believers that it’s been fabricated.

A paper cited in this video was incorrectly dated. It is “The myth of the 1970s Global Cooling Consensus” by TC Petersonet al, September 2008 volume 89 issue 9, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.
