Reminds me of the 70’s when I was starting high school. A whole collection of forecasts by the so-called experts of their time.

“The Earth’s Cooling Climate,” Science News, November 15, 1969. • “Colder Winters Held Dawn of New Ice Age,” Washington Post, January 11, 1970. • “Science: Another Ice Age?” Time Magazine, June 24, 1974. • “The Ice Age Cometh!” Science News, March 1, 1975. • “The Cooling World,” Newsweek, April 28, 1975. • “Scientists Ask Why World Climate is Changing; Major Cooling May Be Ahead,” New York Times, May 21, 1975. • “In the Grip of a New Ice Age?” International Wildlife July-August, 1975. • “A Major Cooling Widely Considered to Be Inevitable,” New York Times, September 14, 1975. • “Variations in the Earth’s Orbit, Pacemaker of the Ice Ages,” Science magazine, December 10, 1976.

Stick around long enough, you see this crap come and go, rotate so to speak, like global warming.....or something.

This winter has been brutal. The last two have been unusually mild. Lucky for me, I get to work from home four days a week and the fifth day in the office is a suggestion, not a requirement.

I've told the office that I will probably start making my weekly trek in sometime after Groundhog Day. As long as I get the work done, nobody gets too uptight.
