Recant of Global Cooling by Peter Gwynne

In 1975, Peter Gwynne, a well-known science writer, was quoted in a Newsweek article as predicting catastrophic global cooling.
Breitbart News says he has now recanted and joined the global warming crowd. The general news media is making a big issue of this.
However I don't consider this particularly significant, because global cooling or global warming is not the issue. The issue is whether increases in carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere have anything to do with climate change. The subject is not discussed in any practical way in the recent articles, and therefore to me the whole matter is irrelevant.
