“...In the 70s, scientists claimed the earth was headed into a cooling phase that would usher in an Ice Age. The news was widely circulated in newspapers, and the masses were told to believe in it. It never came to pass. ...”
This has turned out to be sort of true, just off by 20-30 years. The magnitude of the cooling trend has yet to be seen. Hopefully it will be less then the “Little Ice Age 1300 (some say it really started in the 1500s) to about 1850” which was bad enough on people. The modern world can weather it better (Irony intended!). If its worse it depends on how much!
Its important to remember that technically we are still in a geologic time period of transcontinental glaciation (Ice Age) - the Quaternary. The Quaternary is characterized by cyclic transcontinental glaciations (Ice Ages). We are experiencing one of the many warming lulls between glaciation events. (Lulls can last for 10s if not 100s of thousands of years! or longer!) It could be the end of the Quaternary but there’s little to no real physical evidence for it. At least none that I know of! (Computer simulations are not physical evidence!)
I keep a copy of a November 1976 National Geographic on my desk. There is an article in it explaining how we are headed into a new ice age and how the planet is cooling down.
I have had more fun with that than you can imagine.
“By comparing observed temperature data with model predictions. The magnitude of warming predicted by the models was nowhere near the observed increase in temperature levels. The models consistently predicted more warming than observed.” That is a very deceptive statement. Its phrasing almost makes it say the computer models were accurate, until you read the modifying sentence after it. It should have said, “The observed temps were nowhere near those predicted by the computer models.” I’ll bet the writer actually has a college diploma!
FRom the article, “Since the 1970s, outlandish claims regarding our climate have been made repeatedly, only to be found untrue.”
There are scores of archived articles from long before the 1970s about North Pole melting or getting colder, glaciers growing and retreating. Even the underlying reason behind the Salem witch trials were about crops failing from poor weather. And what about all the human sacrifices by the Aztecs and others who “believed that without the sustenance of human life-blood, the sun would fail and the world would end.”
Fear of the weather and the desire to control it is almost a primal instinct with people. Charlatans from every era have exploited this, so should we be surprised that it is still something being used to manipulate people? Every major figure in the global warming scam is a charlatan; its all about power and money and they could not care less about what damage they do to the credibility of actual science.
Damn...... this was a just garden variety anti global warming screed.
I thought it was going to be about Bigfoot
