Yep, the "AV" team rolled the black and white television into the room and we had to watch how the earth was getting colder and we were all going to perish if we kept polluting. Those were the good ol' days.

Dumber, huh?

Tell, Wonder Boy, with the publicity, all the regulations, all the world conferences, all the taxes, all the attack on other energy sources, all the blather about GW being worse that ISIS........tell me the answer to two very important questions:

1. What is the target global temperature?
2. How much have all the efforts so far reduced the average global temperature.

Bonus question

3. Who YOU calling dumb?

I just googled the story after seeing the video on The Weather Channel. I didn't choose the source. But it is sad for these animals. The world weather is just going into a new cycle, I believe.

I was in 4th grade in 1970 and don't remember any of that, I wonder if it depended on where you lived? Most of the scare movies were about not getting in cars with strangers or not eating Halloween candy before your parents inspected it. I was in California then and it was a good 20 years before it evolved into the liberal dump that it is.

It was on the cover of all the major rags at the time. Huge deal. Scientific community was totally up in arms over it. Once they got all their funding the talk dried up lol. Funny how that works.

Perhaps not as "in your face" as now, but it certainly existed.

The article on global cooling was published in 1975. The idea for a national day to focus on the environment was initially pushed by a senator from Wisconsin, Gaylord Nelson. Most of his interest came after the massive Santa Barbara oil spill in 1969. Most of the legwork was done by Harvard professor named Denis Hayes. Hayes recruited people across the country and settled on April 22, 1970 as the first earth day (spring break at Harvard). Seven months later the EPA was established.

The global cooling article in Newsweek has been dismissed many times over, most especially by the scientist who inspired it. He has since become part of the large contingent of scientists who believe we are in a period of significant global warming. The person who wrote the article said this years later.

Now, as the author of that story, after decades of scientific advances, let me say this: while the hypotheses described in that original story seemed right at the time, climate scientists now know that they were seriously incomplete. Our climate is warming -- not cooling, as the original story suggested.


They probably did show you videos, but you seem to be significantly off in your dates.

I remember it quite well. I was in third grade for the first Earth day in 1970. Just because I linked to magazines published 5 years later does not mean it wasn't being pushed in 1970. Maybe this will help you.
