RUSH: Well, well, well, looky here. Koko Jr. at RushLimbaugh.com just sent me a quick note. "Documents released Friday..." This is from July of 2010, folks, so it's from the archives at RushLimbaugh.com. "Documents released Friday by the Nixon Presidential Library show members of President Richard Nixon's inner circle discussing the possibilities of global warming more than 30 years ago.
"Advisor Daniel Patrick Moynihan, notable as a Democrat in the [Nixon] administration, urged the [Nixon] administration to initiate a worldwide system of monitoring carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, decades before the issue of global warming came to the public's attention." Here is the nub: Daniel Patrick Moynihan warned Richard Nixon in 1970 that unless the Nixon administration took drastic action to limit greenhouse gases, it would be seven degrees warmer in the year 2000 and parts of America would be underwater.
In 1970.
This is five years before the famous Newsweek cover on the coming ice age. Moynihan, in 1970, warned Nixon to act on global warming or parts of the country would be underwater by 2000. In fact, here's what he wrote: "This could increase the average temperature near the earth's surface by seven degrees Fahrenheit. This in turn could raise the level of the sea by 10 feet. Goodbye, New York.
"Goodbye, Washington, for that matter," by the year 2000. That's 14 years ago. In 1970, Nixon was told we gotta act now or by 30 years from now, in 2000, New York City's gone, Washington's gone, and we're gonna have temperature raise of seven degrees! There's nothing that has changed. There's nothing new. The predictions are the same. They never come true. All these predictions of doom and gloom and destitution never come true. What does happen?
While all of these predictions are out there, liberal policies are put into place, and they do cause havoc.
Paul Ehrlich was also in the 1970s.

Both NYC and DC gone? What’s the downside?
None that I can think of
Prophets of doom haven’t changed
Criswell predicted the same thing ten years earlier than that!
Plan Nine from Outer Space Ping
What year did Maurice Strong start this crap at the UN?
I used to respect him more. His failure to vote yea to remove Clinton from office soured me on him, and how a younger Moynihan would have been appalled at the older Moynihan's actions.
With this revelation, he was little more than a useful idiot.
Benghazi, Nigeria, Venezuela, Ukraine, Iran, wait, wait, revive a piece of agitprop from four years ago to push Zero’s global warming hoax agenda...
Declassified documents show Nixon warned of global warning 30 years ago

Mr. Moynihan was thought to be one of the most brilliant geniuses to ever walk the earth.
Wishful thinking
Washington's gone; that part of the prophesy rang true.
Washington's gone; that part of the prophesy rang true.
The folks in them will relocate inland and take over?
re-watch Soylent Green, they actually blame global warming in the first 10 minutes of the movie or so...
Nixon was the start of a lot of the left wing jihad.
