In December 1969, Automobile Manufacturers Association President Thomas C. Mann made fun of scientists for warning both about the risk of global warming from carbon dioxide pollution and of global cooling from aerosol pollution. #climatedeniers

"Even a casual reader of the press these days can find equally conflicting scientific theories about almost any pollutant and their effects on plant and animal life. So long as the reader keeps clearly in mind the distinction between speculation and theory, on the one hand , and established scientific fact, on the other, speculation is a useful tool in widening the horizons of knowledge. But speculation which is presented as scientific fact with the aim of arousing people to political action does not necessarily lead to the right conclusions. Fear is a poor counselor."
