Abstract
- The article focuses on the myth about the agreement among climate scientists in the 1970s, on the global cooling or the return of ice age in due time. Climate researcher Reid Bryson is the one who integrated the description of the climate change and the consequence of global warming. Due to this myth, scientific literature on greenhouse warming grew, as well as research enterprises arose. Discourses tackling about the potential problems of environmental pollution including the polluting effects of urban air pollution, pesticides, aerosols and carbon dioxide, dominated among media coverage, government, and researchers. An overview of the global temperature records and literatures is offered. Meanwhile, the review of the climate science literature from 1965 to 1979 was proven to be a faux.
