I wish there was a way to get ALL of the magazine covers and articles from the 70’s OUT to every young person on this planet, I have been listening to this garbage for 50 years now, we were ALL going to freeze to death, then we were ALL going die from the heat and droughts, NOW we are all going to die from the water levels rising quickly YET every one of these bastards are purchasing HUGE ocean front properties around the globe where the hell is the younger generations common sense???
Freezing was always the better argument because we are currently in an Ice Age - the Quaternary. A geologic time period characterized by cyclic continental glaciations. We’ve enjoyed a warming lull for the last 15K to 11K years where we’ve built civilization. Give ourselves a collective pat on the back! As I remember the 1970s claim, it stated the wrong reasons (I don’t remember any claims it was man made! Maybe there were some claims!) and very very greatly exaggerated the evidence and timing. Of course, the reasons for doing it was not informing the public but to scare the public into massive government action\socialism.
