Joe Romm: Chief Warmist censor -- attacks Freeman Dyson
As usual with the Green/Left, Romm substitutes abuse for rational argument. He has to. It would in fact be amusing to see him debate the facts with Freeman Dyson. He wouldn't last 5 minutes.

"Here in North Texas, the coldest years on record were in the 70s," he said. "We had 62 freezes in the winter of 1977-78. But the fewest we’ve had were back in the 1930s. Remember what happened back then? We were in the Dust Bowl.

"So, we go through these cycles."
