What About Global Cooling and the New Ice Age??

Question

After a cooling period began in 1945, and continued for two decades Global Cooling was a grave concern for the Liberal set.

In 1966 Cesare Emiliani predicted that "a new glaciation will begin within a few thousand years."

By 1972 a large majority of a group of leading glacial-epoch experts at a conference agreed that "the natural end of our warm epoch is undoubtedly near"

An April 28, 1975 Newsweek article titled "The Cooling World," decried "the evidence in support of these predictions [of global cooling] has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it." The Newsweek article incouraged "simple measures of stockpiling food". The article ended by claiming that "The longer the planners (politicians) delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality."

I think I'm having deja vu...So am I going to freeze or fry?

Answer 1

This reminds me of the whole Y2K thing. Everyone was saying it will be the end of the world, everything will shut down. From left to right I witnessed people stockpiling supplies, drinking water, and whatever else. I had a heated debate with someone who believed this, and it almost came to an actual fight. Y2K, global cooling, and global warming are the same, from someone's imagination. Remember the bomb shelter thing in the 50's. I wonder what will be the next big thing brought out to spread fear.

Answer 2

no one knows for sure whats going on. The earth moves in giant cycles, including heating and cooling cycles. Right now, everyone is obsessed with the idea of global warming, which is a problem, but they don't understand the fact that we have only been able to accurately judge the temperature for less than 2 hundred years. I do not think this is a sufficient amount of time to be able to determine exactly whats going on. also, people are sure that this is attributed to the burning of fossil fuels, which could be an inaccurate fact as well. We all know that this burning is affecting weather patterns, we just don't know how much. This same situation (warming of the planet) has obviously happened before, when we weren't burning these fuels, but we are so concerned now, without even the slightest idea of why it is happening. I believe we have no control of this cycle, and we should make the best of what we can. These cycles will inconvience and maybe devastate many people, but this is a cycle of life, right?

Answer 3

via actual shown actuality that 1976, there have been 3 consecutive sturdy sunspot cycles it really is discounted by skill of the IPCC community that controls our sciences. those 3 warmth cycles presented us hotter climate, more desirable suitable typhoon interest and melting glaciers and Polar Ice Packs. In 2008, we entered a photo voltaic Sunspot minimum that would want to have a twin cycle starting up up round 2019. this finished cycle will end about 2030 with a climate lag to maintain on with it truly is no longer see the suited of a cooling era until eventually finally 2035. on the on the spot, a mini ice age isn't highly probable. a important Ice Age, outstanding wager received't start up up for yet another 10,000 years and it takes about 50,000 years to really hit the bottom. lets have actual entered yet another Medieval international warming era with the mini-ice age being the bottom. the subsequent cult will be the survivors of the Thinning of the Herd.

Answer 4

The fact that scientists have made mistakes in climate predictions in the past does not prove the earth is not getting warmer. It is the evidence that counts, and no one familiar the the data denies the earth is getting warmer. The debate is about why. Whether or not it is due to CO2 emissions, you are at least going to sweat.

Answer 5

Others have pointed this out, myself included. But thank you for trying to bring some reason into this whole debate.

Al Gore truly hit the jackpot with his little movie. But like all documentaries that speak for a purpose or movement, it ended up being just propaganda, like Micheal Moore's movies.

Answer 6

I belive scientists and som eenvirermentalist wackos mistake global worming and global cooling for the "weather!!!!" so times its cold some times its hot, some times it rains some times it doesn't i say get used to it, if global warming exists it is cause by the hot air coming out of al gore's mouth!

Answer 7

In about 50 years when the earth has not melted, Al Gore Junior will write a book and warn us of the impending planetary doom.

Answer 8

Just ignore the town criers, in my eyes, they lost their creditability a long time ago. They said in the '70's that we would all be destroyed in 20 years.
