Media hysteria back then was all about "The Coming Ice Age" ☃️
The BBC’s 1970s climate alarm – a new Ice Age.
CLIMATE scientists at the time were unanimous – by the 1970s it was crystal clear that the planet had been cooling for three decades.
This fact led to various ice age scares in the media, but on a more serious level the authorities were very concerned about a return to the Little Ice Age conditions which had persisted until the late 19th century. In particular they were extremely worried about the world’s ability to feed itself following the abundance of food which the warmer early 20th century had brought.
Since then, of course, the climate establishment has done everything to cover up those concerns, and eliminate the 30 years of cooling by tampering with the temperature record. But they can’t get rid of the wealth of literature written at the time by climate scientists ..
