A quick refresher course to remind us of the previous global warming / cooling fears

In the light of the new, highly publicized "official" report on global warming, pushed by almost every media outlet and the current cold record in many parts of the United States, it would be useful for some enterprising journalists to report how many once people have been scared by previous warnings of global warming or cooling.

An article in Wattsupwiththat.com from 2014 summarizes the multiple intentional alarms from 1895. Throughout the 120 years, the use of fossil fuels has grown exponentially, population growth has exploded and the concentration of CO2 has increased. The fact that temperatures have increased and decreased over this period shows that there is no correlation between temperature, fossil fuels, CO2 and the human population. Storms, floods, droughts and sea level have also fluctuated over billions of years.

There are a lot of points in this article. I have stayed in some to point out the difference in tactics of bewilderment at different times in the media time that seem to repeat what they said and make fun of the distance with which the previous predictions were:

For at least 114 120 years ago, climate "scientists" claimed that the climate was going to kill us … but they continued to change, whether it was the ice age or global warming.

• 1969 – "If I were a player, I would even take money that England would not exist in the year 2000" – Paul Ehrlich (while he's now predicting global warming, this quote only gets an honorable mention, as he was talking about his crazy fear of overpopulation)
• 1970 – "… take good care of your long customers, the enemies of the cold – the worst is perhaps to come … there is no help in sight" – Washington Post
• 1974 – Global cooling of the last forty years – Time magazine
• 1974 – "The climate cassandres become more and more apprehensible, because the climatic aberrations that they study can be the harbinger of another ice age" – Washington Post
• 1974 – "With regard to the current cooling trend, a number of influential climatologists have concluded that it was a very bad news" – Fortune magazine, which won a science writing award from the American Institute of Physics for its hazard analysis
• 1974 – "… the facts related to the current climate change are such that the most optimistic experts would attribute with almost certainty a major loss of crops … massive deaths from hunger, and probably from anarchy and violence" – New York Times

• 1975 – Scientists are wondering why the global climate is changing; Major cooling widely considered inevitable – New York Times, May 21, 1975
• 1975 – "The threat of a new Ice Age must now accompany nuclear war as a likely source of widespread death and miseries for humanity," Nigel Calder, editor-in-chief, New scientist magazine, in an article from International Wildlife magazine
• 1976 – "Even US farms could be affected by the cooling trend" – US News and World Report
• nineteen eighty one – Global warming – "of almost unprecedented magnitude" – New York Times
• 1988 – I would like to draw three main conclusions. First, Earth is warmer in 1988 than at any other time in the history of instrumental measurements. Secondly, global warming is now important enough that we can attribute with a high degree of confidence a cause-and-effect relationship to the greenhouse effect. And thirdly, our computer climate simulations indicate that the greenhouse effect is already large enough that the likelihood of extreme events such as summer heat waves will occur. – Jim Hansen, Testimony of June 1988 before the Congress, see His last quote and The objection of his superior for the context
• 1990 – "We must overcome the problem of global warming. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will act as it should – in terms of economic policy and environmental policy. "- Senator Timothy Wirth
• 1998 – It does not matter if science [of global warming] is all wrong. . . climate change [provides] the greatest opportunity to bring justice and equality to the world. – Christine Stewart, Canadian Minister of the Environment, Calgary Herald, 1998
• 2006 "What we have basically forgotten is basic science. The climate is always changing. It is always … warm or cool, it is never stable. And if it were stable, it would be really interesting scientifically because it would be the first time in four and a half billion years. "-Philip Stott, emeritus professor of biogeography at the University of London
• 2008 – "Hansen was never muzzled even though he had violated the position of NASA's official climate forecast agency (ie we did not know enough to predict the change climate change or the effects of mankind on it). Hansen embarrassed NASA by exposing his statements on global warming in 1988 during his testimony before the Congress "- Dr. John S. Theon, retirement Head of the Research Program on Climate Processes at NASA, see above for Hansen's quotes

• 2011 – Where did the global warming go? "In Washington," climate change "has become a lightning rod, it's a four-letter word," said Andrew J. Hoffman, Director of the Erb Institute for Sustainable Development at the University of Michigan. – New York Times, October 15, 2011.
• 2013 – The "proof" that warms the planet evaporates. The hurricane season of 2013 has just ended as one of the quietest five years since 1960. But do not expect those who cited last year's hurricanes as the "proof" of the need to act against global warming apologize; the warmists do not work that way. New York Post, December 5, 2013

Indoctrination is really a dangerous thing for society and our freedom. The fact is that fossil fuels have significantly improved the lives and quality of life of everyone over the past 150 years. When scientists, bureaucrats and politicians predict the number of deaths from fossil fuels in the years to come, why do not they report the number of lives saved each year by fossil fuels?

I think people are absolutely crazy if they believe that politicians and bureaucrats can control temperatures, sea levels and storms forever if we give them our freedom and our billions of dollars. I have not seen anything in the government that says they can control a lot, but only the climate.

The facts should be important, but they have not been around for a long time for most journalists who only push the Democrats' agenda without asking a lot of questions.
