Newsweek on the cooling world (anno 1975)

Læs her i en original Newsweek artikel hvordan "klimaeksperterne" frygtede en istid i 1975, og arbejdede med ideer om at smelte isen ved polerne.....Det er da næsten for komisk at vi nu igen forventes tro blindt på at de har ret denne gang. "Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality. "
