Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climate change, or even to allay it's affects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the polar ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or introducing the variables of climate uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climate change once the results become grim reality.

That's just one reason why we don't listen to them today on global warming.
Back then the political agenda was the coming ice age. Now it's global warming or climate change. It's not about what they say, it's about their agenda.
