Scientists seeking funding and journalists seeking an audience agree: panic sells.
“Global cooling is going to kills us all!” “No, wait: global warming is going to kill us all!”
All that’s missing is a back-and-forth of “You shut up!” “No, you shut up!” That is reserved for those who doubt the need for panic.
That’s the gist of an amazing chronology of the last 120 years of scare-mongering on climate, assembled by butnowyouknow.net and reprinted by the estimable Anthony Watts in Wattsupwiththat, who updates it to the present. It is truly mind-boggling:
- 1895 - Geologists Think the World May Be Frozen Up Again – New York Times, February 1895
- 1902 - “Disappearing Glaciers…deteriorating slowly, with a persistency that means their final annihilation…scientific fact…surely disappearing.” – Los Angeles Times
- 1912 - Prof. Schmidt Warns Us of an Encroaching Ice Age – New York Times, October 1912
- 1923 - “Scientist says Arctic ice will wipe out Canada” – Professor Gregory of Yale University, American representative to the Pan-Pacific Science Congress, – Chicago Tribune
- 1923 - “The discoveries of changes in the sun’s heat and the southward advance of glaciers in recent years have given rise to conjectures of the possible advent of a new ice age” – Washington Post
- 1924 - MacMillan Reports Signs of New Ice Age – New York Times, Sept 18, 1924
- 1929 - “Most geologists think the world is growing warmer, and that it will continue to get warmer” – Los Angeles Times, in Is another ice age coming?
- 1932 - “If these things be true, it is evident, therefore that we must be just

I was thinking of that loon the other day who was telling AOC about the need to eat the babies ........... as I tripped over my old book from 1968, 'The Population Bomb' by the bizarre Paul Ehrlich.

The really funny part is we have no control at all.
One volcano can undo whatever we think we’re doing.
The Sun will cycle as it always has.
An asteroid can strike and wipe us out.
***manipulated by scare mongers.***
I believe this is true. Someone is keeping score of what works, and what does not work, much like the commies who found they could manipulate an entire auditorium of people by the placement of just four people.

It’s (un)settled science!
We are all going to die, period. How? Who the he11 knows. 11 years or 11 million it’s still gonna happen. The thing that irritates me the most is how the climate clowns have scared the young people out of enjoying their planet and it’s ever changing state. The wonder of changing weather and seasons have been weaponized against us. A pox on all the AlGore types. IMO
These shitheads have been around longer than any of us ever knew.
No cure for Climatosis
The bottom line is that we will all die. Acceptance of Christ as our Lord and Savior is the only way out.
On the global warming hoax, researchers support it because they want the money; Democrats support it because they want the power-the power to control every aspect of our lives.
