Global Warming? or Cooling?
Here is a comment I found on CBC online, that gives a bit of a timeline as to the Media Reports in regards to this warming or cooling debate. I thought it was interesting…
Global Warming anyone??? the past 100 years 4 different climate trends have been reported by Journalists.
1895 Climate: Journalists could not make up their minds if it was an ice age or whether it’s warming up. They predicted Canada could be wiped out, have lower crop yields, billions will die. The Earth warmed up less than 1/2 degree, newspapers & magazines reported stories the earth was getting hotter.
Sept. 18, 1920, New York Times “MacMillan Reports” SIGNS OF ICE AGE. Geologists thinks the world will be frozen up again.
March 27, 1933, NY Times states America in longest spell since 1776, temperatures line records, 25 year rise.
London: First Earth Day April 22, 1970, hysteria about new ICE Age, media writes ‘POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN DISASTERS OF Unnatural Magnitude, there were rumors of cooling periods since 1950′s.
1974: Fortune Magazine one of the most influential magazines in the world won a Science Writing Award from American Institute of Physics for it’s own research on the current Cooling Trend.
1974 Leading Climatologists at that time concluded Cooling Trends are the root of ALL Unpleasant Weather around the world, with the potential for an Unprecendented Magnitude. Predicted 1 billion people will starve, and that effects were already showing up.
Since that warning world population INCREASED by 2.5 billion.
May 21, 1975, Scientists ponder why World’s Climate is changing.
A major Cooling widely considered to be inevitable.
later in 1975 Cooling Trend now wearing off, being replaced by the mantra of danger of Global Warming.
1981 NY Times quoted seven Gov Atmosphere Scientists who predicted Global Warming of unprecedented magnitude.
* Same claims made today about Global Catastrophe for climate warming are the same as used for climate cooling. Go Figure!!!.
19/2/08 Global Warming??? N. Vietnam suffered the longest ever cold spell. 60,000 cattle dead, rice crop ruined, corn fields damaged.
Louisiana: record winter cold snowfalls.
2008 Baghdad: snowed first time in centuries.
* Extent of Sea Ice in Antarctic was the Greatest on record since Cook discovered the place in 1770.
* NASA Goddart Institute reports Earth cooled 0.7 degrees in 2007.
