I didn't know there was such a bad winter in 1977. All I remember about 1977 was going to see Star Wars.

Actually there is a greater chance of another Ice Age than there is of catastrophic warming.
Cold kills, humans have thrived during previous warming periods that were warmer than today.
We are a tropical species.

beaversmom,
Thanks for the post and the link. Great video that I need to share with my “progressive friends.”
the left called everyone who doubted that an impending ice age was about to hit “Anti-Science”, and i believe said the ‘science was settled’
Hmmm, guess it wasn’t so settled and I guess the people who doubted weren’t anti-Science after all- the left owes people who doubt that man is causing climate change an apology
mankind was created in a tropic-like climate (minus the rain)- and now man is complaining that we are going back to a tropic-like climate?
Many Liberals, they are NEVER EVER happy about anything-
A compilation of news articles on the global cooling scare of the 1970’s
Does the bullet point list for solutions to global cooling at right look familiar? It reads almost like some of the manifestos we get from warmists today, including the suspension of Democracy as the article in the Owosso Newspaper clearly demonstrates. Thanks to Poptech for the compilation.
During the 1970s the media promoted global cooling alarmism with dire threats of a new ice age. Extreme weather events were hyped as signs of the coming apocalypse and man-made pollution was blamed as the cause.
Environmental extremists called for everything from outlawing the internal combustion engine to communist style population controls. This media hype was found in newspapers, magazines, books and on television;
I still sorta miss “In Search Of...”.
Ice age, it seemed very believable at the time. Imminent as a matter of fact after 3 winters like those in a row.
Then a couple hours later you posted this. Perfect.
Wait! What if we set off H-bombs at the right place to change the axis of the Earth’s spin to bring on Global Warming and save the planet! Plus we can grow more crops!
And don’t forget, we were going to run out of fossil fuels long before now.
Fortunately we’ve been able to find AND BURN enough of them to stave off Antarctica’s global advance for a few decades
This type of argument doesnt influence my mind about the matter one way or another. I find it rather silly actually.
Ha! I loved that series! The music in particular: all “spacey” and ominous! I was only 11 in 1978, but I do remember the snow storms in NJ in the winter of ‘77. Good times.
Fall and Winter of 1976-1977 was BRUTAL! Thanksgiving day, usually mild was brutal cold, about 18 degrees, wind blowing with snow and ice. It remained like that for several days.
Winter of 1977, saw January so cold and with 30 days of constant cloud cover over the continental USA, sever snow storms through Feb and March, and me down with flu and pneumonia.
It was used as Proof we were entering a New Ice Age!
Well, that settles that.
We are going into a solar minimum period.
the SUN is the most critical thing affecting weather on the earth. in comparison anything we do is incredibly small compared to the sun.
Its lack of sunspot activity is affecting our weather negatively. History shows we go into cold periods when sunspot activity goes way down, like it is now.
Spock said it so it must be logical.
I noticed a lot of could be and might be in the film.
Maybe they will get it right one of these times.
Me too.
