Remember this?
There was a chill across the world, and it wasn’t just the cold war. From the 1940s to the mid-70s, the planet seemed to be in the grip of a global cooling. For a while, almost every outbreak of extreme weather was blamed on it. Some members of a new scientific discipline, climatology, predicted a new ice age. Yet before the 70s were out, temperatures were rising and many of the soothsayers for a new ice age were warning of global warming instead. It is a strange, and now largely forgotten episode. Some say it shows climate scientists are scaremongers and shouldn’t be believed, whatever they are predicting. So what happened three decades ago? And why should we believe the climatologists now?
Global cooling was a real phenomenon – and it changed global history. In the winter of 1941, it stopped the German army’s advance on Moscow: grease froze in German guns and thousands of soldiers died from cold. Hitler’s failure to take Moscow marked a turning point in the second world war. Without the freezing 40s, Hitler might have triumphed. But by the 1970s, no one was giving thanks for global cooling. As snow banks built across the Canadian Arctic and pack ice grew in the North Atlantic, there was concern bordering on panic about where this might be leading.
What is USA Today?
Probably a look at the personal investment portfolios of USA Today’s owners and senior management might shed some light on this mystery.
What I personally, also deny is that anything we do as humans--including raising taxes and forcing certain lifestyles upon people--is powerless to cause a change in the trajectory of the changing climate. In other words, the climate's gonna do what the climate's gonna do.
The press voices what the owners think.
They write what their customers want to read.
It’s that simple
The headline suggests that they ‘could’ stop.
Such is the nature of propaganda to poison even the minds of those calling out the enemy.
They’re partisan liberals. Let me review the Liberal Rules of Truth:
1. Truth is whatever serves the Party
2. If you repeat something enough, it becomes true.
3. If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.
