People send me stuff. Nigel Rios writes in with a great compendium of Time Magazine covers that illustrate the history of that magazine’s global warming coverage from the 1970’s to the present. It’s worth the click.

Of course this is all just fun and satire, but for those who didn’t get the spoof, there’s further reading. Check out this WUWT story on Time’s recent article about the December snows of 2010, where they were dead serious.
Time Magazine blizzard science sets low standard for green journalism
Happy New Year!
A picture tells a 1000 words!!
Poodle propaganda rags are rapidly dissapearing due to an enlightened public, educated through the internet. Let’s hope this one fades into oblivion soon. Bloggers rule now.
Hahaha. You posted it…
Happy New Year!
REPLY: Sure, why not, it’s a good spoof. -Anthony
Did I get first comment of the year? Or did some people sneak in before me?
The middle one reminds me of the “This is your brain on drugs” PSA.
These covers also might be good evidence to support “the theory of non-linear Time.”
Happy New Years.
That’s hillarious!
We laugh at the Romans and Greeks for trying to read the future in animal bones and entrails. The Time cover shows we haven’t advanced any.
Not to forget:

Proof that scientists have nothing to do with the Global Warming scare. It is all media’s fault. Eh?
Well that speaks volumes.
[typo fixed thanks]
Seems like I remember the ’77 issue…
Omg, I almost cried laughing. Approaching the asymptote of global warming Zen.
Btw, from ‘Open Thread’ to now, that was a short break man! No wonder you are getting burned out! Forget to pay your electric bill for a month, and force yourself to take a real break, okay?
Circular arguements make my head spin… or was it the champagne?
Happy New Year!
Time wounds all heels. No left turn unstoned. Great stuff, printed and on display. Thx.
That is the way to start the new year with a good laugh!
LOL, that is one very amusing pic!
Thanks for that!
And a Happy New Year to all!
Upcoming Cover Story in 2050:
A new ice age. Global Warming is here. We told you so.
Happy new year Sir.
So if hot makes cold, then cold must make hot, ergo the colder it gets the higher the temperatures get…er, so the clutch of record lows set across the northern hemisphere, are a sign of higher global temps.
Glad I sorted that out. Gee willickers, the Ice Age must of been steaming hot, you sure it’s TIME? Sounds more like CRIME.

Happy, healthy and prosperous 2011 to you, Anthony, and lang may yer lum reek.
(Long may your chimney smoke.)
Hi Anthony, as an alternative caption may I suggest “Time’s Up For Global Warming”.
Regards Paul.
As they say, every picture tells a story and the juxtaposition of these suggests that we have come full circle. Further those promoting warming, may well end up with egg on their face.
It is amazing how we have got ourselves in such a tis over approximately 20 years of warming from the mid 70s through to the late 90s. As Einstein commented: there are ony two things that are infinite in life, the extent of the universe and the depth of human stupidy, and I am not sure about the universe!
Pigs flying – more signs of global warming.
Rich.
So many statements to make:
“What goes around, comes around”.
“If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute. It’ll change”.
Just think. They like to compare today’s temperatures to at least 30 years in the past (climate). So a freeze 33 years ago compared to a freeze today.
Makes an anomaly zero, doesn’t it?
So it’s amazing that
Of course, the above post should read ” …..to you all, Anthony and the Moderators, and lang may yer lums reek.”
(Now I’ve made you all sound like the name of a pop group.
I’m going back to bed.)
Below are some warming and cooling scares over the past 150 years from Time Magazine, New York Times and others. This is why you should remain sceptical. ;>)

Happy new year!
So then when we get Global cooling we should get record warm temps then.
