“when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades.”

"for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age."

Of course it does, because everyone knows when the Earth warms (allegedly), we can certainly expect to see the planet engulfed in a blanket of ice. Yep, that makes all the sense in the world.

When it gets warm, it's global warming. When it gets bone-crushing cold and snowy, you guessed it, global warming.

Oh, my mistake. It was actually published in 1974. Still, it shows they can't predict the temperature in 30 years, anymore than they can predict rain next Tuesday afternoon.

“There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production – with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth.”

Newsweek, too. All the experts were predicting a new ice age in the mid-1970s:

The biggest snow in the Washington, DC area since 1982 is forecasted to welcome Obama back home from the Global Warming Scam Conference.

Actually, considering the pattern of natural temperature variation (cf. temperature estimates form the Vostok ice core sample shown in the figure)

the ice age worry seems a whole lot more cogent than worrying about global warming. Not that the anthropogenic causation theory has any merit in either case.
