I'm old enough to remember when "Global Cooling" was settled science.

It was caused by Aqua Net Hair Spray and other aerosol spray cans. That just proves we can solve global warming by bringing back the original aerosol spray cans.
Which my 6th grade self remembers being told also caused acid rain & was killing all the polar bears🐸
acid rain was real. I saw it as a kid living in Maine back during those years. It was from pulp and lumber mills spewing their waste into the air. That was quickly resolved without anyone being cultish about it and it all cleared up by the early 80s.
This is the way.
As kids we used to use that stuff as stickum for sports play.
I remember it well. They were telling us we are headed for a mini ice age. But the politicians couldnt extort $ from us (carbon tax, emissions tax etc) with this so they claimed (Gore et al) it was global warming. Scientists showed proof, politicians did not so they changed the term to climate change.
If you repeat a lie often enough everyone will believe it.
I remember it very well. I was in grade school and middle school through the 70s and the indoctrination was all about the coming ice age. There were lesson plans that revolved around this narrative. If you look close enough at the news articles you can almost pinpoint an exact date in 1983 where the narrative went from coming ice age to global warming. By that point I was a senior in HS. If you werent in school in the 70s and 80s you have no room to comment.
It does appear that both covers of Times are referring to energy, however there was a push in the 70s about global cooling. Here is just one of many articles that makes reference. I was also a kid in school during the 70s and remember the global cooling lessons. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/50-years-ago-scientists-puzzled-over-slight-global-cooling
Username does not check out. Magamomma my ass. Handshake with all four comments trying to make it look like climate change is real and the bug thing is fake. Try harder glowie. Oh and blowing off musk and touting your public school trash.
Strong, intelligent women don’t have to say that they’re strong, intelligent women in an attempt to get a point across. Nor do true conservative women use leftist feminazi buzzwords while trying to blend in on a Q forum. Seems like you’re the one that’s triggered here for getting called out on your bullshit 😘 Maybe on your next handshake account you try glowing a little less and then you might get a little further in your meddling little shill.

Get rekt commie.
Oh hey look, you just outed yourself. Way to go glowie. This is why you’re losing and NCSWIC.
Throw in Carl Sagan's "nuclear winter" around 1978 for good measure.
Wow you are old! (At least as old as me!)
The sweet spot was the short period between global cooling and global warming. For a few years it was perfect -- global normal.
ITS A WORLD TAX, USED FOR THEIR YACHTS The 76-foot luxury yacht Isabel — the tony tub that sailed Secretary of State John Kerry into stormy political seas a few years ago when the Track revealed that he and his wife had dodged a $437,500 state tax bill on their swanky $7 million sailboat — is up for sale. Kerry and the missus, ketchup heiress ?Teresa Heinz, listed the New Zealand-built Friendship sloop for a mere ?$4 million with luxury yacht brokers Northrop & Johnson in Newport, R.I. — some $3 million less than they paid for it back in 2010. Laughing out load, couldn’t remember “ HER” name I Google “crazy girl climate change got it Greta Thunberg's grandfather was a successful actor and producer who earned millions. Her father inherited over $16 million from her grandfather's estate. What does Greta Thunberg do for a living? Greta Thunberg speaks at seminars and events through which she earns over $250,000 per event.Nov 20, 2023 Environmental activist Greta Thunberg's net worth is $18 Million USD. Thunberg was born into a wealthy Swedish family. She has inherited over $10 million from her family's estate.Nov 20, 2023
I lived in Maine during those years. They scraped the snow off the roads in the winter so high it almost touched the electric and telephone wires. It was like driving in a tunnel. Cold Cold Cold.
Guess what. Its still cold in the winter in Maine.
Gosh I remember those days. Same time Kissinger got the world fuel cost to sky rocket. Long gas lines too. I remember when a loaf of bread was 35 cents there was a rumor of next years cost in 1974 to be a Buck/dollar. We all laughed. We were WRONG it did go to a dollar. Could buy a 35 cent loaf of bread AND 35 cents a gallon of gasoline. Keep in your mind the democrats and republicans gave gave us our world of misery. They created all this, plus super inflation too
At that price it was indeed a good buy.
Ahh, the good old days!!!!
They switched from "global cooling", to "global warming", to "climate change", as the data used to support either cooling or warming fell apart. More than thirty years ago, they were trying to use sea level rise as the most significant threat from "global warming" (they meant "man-made global warming", of course). Well, we have had more than 100 years of global sea level rise data to analyze, and it DESTROYS the "global warming" theory (again, too avoid any confusion, "man-made global warming" theory), thus, the reason they switched to "climate change" (and, again, insinuating "man made climate change"), is because there are ALWAYS extremes in weather, which they falsely claim is evidence of "climate change". As a scientist, it enrages me so much to see how science has been corrupted by political ideology.
The Global Ice Age happening by 1980 didn't work so now we have Global Warming going after the tax money. Wonder what they will come up with next? Global Disease---wait, that's been done---- Global Financial Collapse? Yeah, that's the ticket!
That didn't scare people enough.
if people were smart it would be scarier. Cooling negatively impacts life more than warming.
Most everyone has good heaters. And lots of people don't have air conditioning. The idea of global warming is a real bitch if you don't have AC. AC is pretty rare in the northern US and europe.
No one realy cares if the winter temp is 5 degrees or zero.
AC isnt rare in the northern States. Maybe in 1975 it was but not now. Every home built in the last 40 years has central air.
That maybe,I lived in an area up north, wear no one had it and very few new homes were built. The bigger cities were they are expanding have it I guess.
I can't speak for all regions but I had a house in the UK and I installed aircon in the south-facing office, which was otherwise too hot in summer and too cold in winter.
Here in southern Greece I have aircon in every room including the workshop; again for both cooling and heating.
true, but I am not talking about creature comforts, if the climate gets too cool farmable land drops and people will starve.
When my daughters or step-daughters mention Climate Change, my wife reminds them that we lived through the Ice Age of the 70s.

I read a similar publication of Newseek when it came out. Absolute garbage then and laughable now. Scientists of the time were toying with melting Artic ice. Some even suggested placing blankets over the ice of Greenland. Today's global warming is just as comical. Made me wonder what catastrophic failure had happened within the minds of (supposed) scientists.
In fairness, if you read or at least skim the articles about this covers, they aren't about global freezing (although that was being promoted in the 70s) they are about the reduced availability of heating fuels during winter.
This scared me as a child, and made me secretly angry at my mother for her obsession with aqua net. Cured me of ever falling for this crap again.
"You don't want to freeze in the dark, do you??"
There was never an energy crisis either. It was ALL fear porn to manipulate the masses.
So tell me... What is the truth in your world? It's easy to just claim that all news is false all of the time, but it's a coward's way out. You're just trading one slanted perspective for another. Be a critical thinker, not a sheep.
You have ZERO room to talk. You believe that there was an energy crisis? Only a sheep would believe that. LOL
Do moar research.
Did I ever say that? I just said that's what these issues are actually about. It's true.
You did say that.
Nope, I just asked you what you do believe is truth. There's no question that fuel prices were super high in the 70s, so what is it that you think is untrue?
There was NO energy crisis. It was ALL manipulation of availability, just like all the "shortages" during "covid". Fear mongering is a great way to increase profits.
What part of that do you not understand?
