Global Cooling…no, no, no, Warming!
Got this story at Forbes while reading Drudge Report today. GREAT write up and point made about Man-Made “Global Warming.” In the 1970’s, the “consensus” was that the earth was heading for a new ice age. Here are some great points that the article points out:
“Random House dutifully printed ‘THE WEATHER CONSPIRACY … coming of the New Ice Age’… 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.’ ”
“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.’ ”
Science’s prediction of “A full-blown, 10,000 year ice age,” came from its March 1, 1975 issue. The Christian Science Monitor observed that armadillos were retreating south from Nebraska to escape the “global cooling” in its Aug. 27, 1974 issue.
Look at an article ran by National Geographic in November 1976.
