In [UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography's Ralph] Keeling's mind, the debate is over. Global warming was discussed in the scientific community long before it became widely known to the public.Keeling's claim seems to find very little support in articles written in the 1970s, which despaired of continuing global *cooling*.
“There was a consensus in the late '70s that the world was going to get warmer, and lo and behold, it's happened,” Keeling said. “The community as a whole moved on long ago. We're through debating this.”
One example:
