"Just years prior, Time magazine echoed other media outlets in suggesting that "another ice age" was imminent. "Telltale signs are everywhere — from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest," the magazine warned in 1974. The Guardian similarly warned in 1974 that "Space satellites show new Ice Age coming fast."
In 1970, The Boston Globe ran the headline, "Scientist predicts a new ice age by 21st century." The Washington Post, for its part, published a Columbia University scientist's claim that the world could be "as little as 50 or 60 years away from a disastrous new ice age."
Some of the more dire predictions came from Paul Ehrlich, a biologist who famously urged population control to mitigate the impacts of humans on the environment. Ehrlich, in 1969, warned that "everybody" would "disappear in a cloud of blue steam in 20 years," The New York Times reported."
Critical thinkers have seen this all before, and immediately dismiss today's hucksters as being the sons and daughters of those in the 60s and 70s that said we would all be frozen by now.
Those that don't care about science and facts, who just want to believe, well they do. Blindly. There will always be
@BSC911 @SoProudNole @urtren @bradleygator who simply want to believe, even when science and reality tells them there is no reason to.
