On the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970, the world was warned that billions would die soon because of a disastrous ice age. The Earth had been cooling for thirty years and it was about to get much worse. Crops would not survive the ice age so the people couldn’t be fed, The Earth was cooling even though CO2, the population, and fossil fuel consumption was rising rapidly, which we are told causes warming.
The complicit media dutifully repeated these warnings to scare the public with no questions and no research. The warnings were 100% wrong because they were WAGS (wild a** guesses) instead of based on scientific data.
In 1922, this was in the Washington Post to scare the public. Again, there was no research or questions or scientific data before they published this piece.
The Arctic Ocean is warming, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot. Reports from fishermen and seal hunters all point to a change in climate conditions (global warming) and unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stone, while at many points, wel- known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
In 1989 the UN essentially gave the same warnings as 1922 and again the sycophant media reported it to scare the public with no questions asked because they don’t care when they are campaigning for a leftist agenda to destroy America.

But, but the polar bears...
Might also help to explain to people that Ira Einhorn was the inventor of Earth Day.
Also that Earth Day is on Lenin’s Birthday.
I don’t think they can even show any incrementalism.
Is the earth cooling? Are we in an Ice Age? Does this mean that citrus no longer grows in Florida?
Is the earth warming? Is it all heating up? Does this mean we can grow citrus in Maine?
Have the seas been rising for 50 years? Does this mean all the old beach houses in New England are now underwater? Any of them? Have the seas risen even half an inch in 50 years?
This whole “we’re all dead in 10 years” stuff doesn’t work if they can’t even show incrementalism over a 50 year span. Nothing is happening.
I’m pretty sure the acid rain scare stopped the new ice age scare. Acid rain beget global warming which beget climate change which beget “kill all the capitalist” which beget Biden World.
superb reminder that the bogus predictions of cataclysmic and catastrophic doom and gloom by the left and the fake stream enemedia in order to keep we peasants terrified have been 100% wrong ...
Current satellite measurements are 3.4 mm / year. That’s about one and a third inches per decade. It’s small compared with tides and storm surges.

The first commie earth day was chosen to be on the communist dicktator Vladimir Lenin’s 100th birthday.
Coincidence? i think not...

We are supposedly all dead by now...
So much for that.
There is no such a thing as a fossil fuel
I’m officially renaming it Paranoia Day.
Still waiting for the ice age......
I know it will happen again, but like most geology, not in my lifetime.
Global Warming? Probably. Source? Probably started at the end of the last ice age.
Recently I was in a coastal town in main, and near the docks they had a global warming expected sea water rise. They were expecting like 6 feet by 2035. Yes, I forgot, they also blamed the decrease in lobster on a north migration caused by global warming. Obviously, it couldn’t be overfishing. The scare tactics are unbelievable.
Who remembers being a kid in elementary school when they tried to scare us with this climate change crap?
Well, after reading all those WAGs in the early 1970s and buying stock in Igloo Corp and The Pre-frozen Cod Corp. I was pretty damned disappointed in the 1980s, the new WAGs were all about ...warming. Damn, I lost my shirt selling my Igloo & Pre-frozen Cod stock.
In the 1990s, I figgered I could cash in on the GloBull warming WAGs, so I bought stock in
Artic Solar Corp and Pre-Cooked Cod Corp.
Damn!
“Current satellite measurements are 3.4 mm / year.”
Except there are no satellites that can measure 3.4mm differences in sea heights. None. This is another example of liberals faking data to drive their political agenda.
Yup—I remember, including this classic Newsweek article:

When they got done lying about cooling they switched to lying about warming—and got busted again!:

The climate change crowd reminds me of the druggie perps on “Cops”.
They tell one lie—then when the cops obviously are not buying it, they switch to a contradictory lie...
It/we didn't.
But how could a former gym teacher who moved into sex Ed
and 'health' get it so wrong?
He was certainly 'qualified' to teach such scare-mongering
subjects - wasn't he? Must have gone to some sort of college, right?
I remember thinking - "Surely guy is exaggerating,
the situation can't be THAT bad..."
But being the first time I'd ever heard such stuff,
it did have an effect on me - albeit a minor one.
Looking back on it, he was actually enjoying trying to scare
the heck out of us kids. Sicko.
