1975 Warning: Global Cooling Is Coming

Why the climatologists get it wrong.

Many of you are too young to remember, but in 1975 our government pushed "the coming ice age."

Random House dutifully printed "THE WEATHER CONSPIRACY … coming of the New Ice Age." This may be the only book ever written by 18 authors. All 18 lived just a short sled ride from Washington, D.C. Newsweek fell in line and did a cover issue warning us of global cooling on April 28, 1975. And The New York Times, Aug. 14, 1976, reported "many signs that Earth may be headed for another ice age."

OK, you say, that's media. But what did our rational scientists say?

In 1974, the National Science Board announced: "During the last 20 to 30 years, world temperature has fallen, irregularly at first but more sharply over the last decade. Judging from the record of the past interglacial ages, the present time of high temperatures should be drawing to an end…leading into the next ice age."

You can't blame these scientists for sucking up to the fed's mantra du jour. Scientists live off grants. Remember how Galileo recanted his preaching about the earth revolving around the sun? He, of course, was about to be barbecued by his leaders. Today's scientists merely lose their cash flow. Threats work.

In 2002 I stood in a room of the Smithsonian. One entire wall charted the cooling of our globe over the last 60 million years. This was no straight line. The curve had two steep dips followed by leveling. There were no significant warming periods. Smithsonian scientists inscribed it across some 20 feet of plaster, with timelines.

I saw this posted, but it was back on Dec 5, and only a few people noticed it. It is great reading and a lot of goo information to keep for those of us keeping a tally of the truth when we can find it.

But was it really “consensus consensus”? (Shot at Whoopi’s “rape,rape” remark).

[MNDude]

is that supposed to be Rush in the bottom left?

[MNDude]

sorry...bottom right.

Article Ping;

This is an interesting Global Cooling Article, for those interested.

I ping you on this just because the more we know the more we know we don't know, and we need all the facts we can gather for our battle with the lies of the evil one.

Thanks Alex,

I kept the image for future reference. It might be interesting to check out the book to see what the main point of their political philosophy as to how the writer thought we could revers the “Global Cooling Trend”.......

LOL

“Many of you are too young to remember, but in 1975 our government pushed “the coming ice age.”...”

I remember it, vividly. I also remember the dozens of cheap paperbacks that came out around that time (not too mention the TV movies, etc.) all because we got some nasty blizzards and snowfalls in the mid-1970’s. I got the feeling at that time that the entire “Global Cooling” campaign was a marketing ploy just to sell more books
(magazines and of course, advertising).

I remember.

I think that’s supposed to be Archie Bunker from the 70’s TV series “All In the Family”. (Really showing my age, eh?)

I did read this back on Dec. 5th. It is full of “goo information!” ;^)
Please keep me on your ping list. Thanks!

I think you are correct. It would be my guess that Meat Head was probably sounding the alarms about the coming Ice Age, while his whiny wife was probably crying about daddy picking in him.

Like you, I too show my age.

There will always be dirtbags who will exploit the Chicken Littles of the world, like those with Halley's Comet in 1910 who fed off fears of cyanide gas poisoning as the Earth passed through the comet's tail.

Algore is the modern-day snake oil salesman of the Left.

Will do, and does that mean the article is sticky?

LOL

I remember very well. I was an engineer on a nuclear submarine so I was well educated by then and laughed at Hollywood and liberals craziness. It never ended.

Stings wife went on a rant about the Amazon, all of the left were in the same position now on global warming.

This would be funny if not for the billions taken and spent on this stuff and the laws at city, state and policies at the Federal level that have burden us.

I would like to find an image of that - it would be priceless!
