White House Edits Global Warming Section of EPA Report, with Predictable Results - Topic Ars OpenForum By feeding skepticism about the greenhouse effect, while provoking some scientists into needless public speculations about the coming of a new ice age, the cool spell gave the field a reputation for fecklessness that would not soon be lived down. The panel was nearly equally divided among three opinons: some thought further cooling was likely, others suspected that moderate greenhouse effect warming would begin fairly soon, and most of the rest expected the climate would stay about the same at least for the next couple of decades.
