name that Environment crises?

Question

"There are ominous signs that the Earths 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. The drop in food output could begin quite soon, perhaps only 10 years from now."

Global warming right? nope its global cooling

"A survey completed last year by Dr. Murray Mitchell of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reveals a drop of half a degree in average ground temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere between 1945 and 1968."

this is from a Newsweek article called

"The Cooling World" - by Peter Gwynne
April 28, 1975 Newsweek


"Scientists Ask Why World Climate Is Changing; Major Cooling May Be Ahead"
By WALTER SULLIVAN
New York Times May 21, 1975



70's the earth is cooling and now its warming? so in another 30 years what will be the new environment crises? who knows but I still be driving my SUV ha!

Answer 1

Don't forget the population bomb. A 1968 book written by Paul R. Ehrlich predicting disaster for humanity due to overpopulation and the "population explosion". The book predicted that "in the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death", that nothing can be done to avoid mass famine greater than any in the history, and radical action is needed to limit the overpopulation.

Now it is global warming that requires radical action. Ho hum.

Answer 2

Good question and good answer!
(Seems like dumb questions get dumb answers, too!)

Now somebody answer: "Who benefits by creating a crisis?"

I think the real issue is influencing how we think, spend, vote, and what rights we are willing to give up. Who do we give power to in all this? And why do they want power?
