In 1969, science told the New York Times that a new ice age was coming.
Nine years earlier, they described Arctic sea ice as “thin, broken, and constantly shifting”
Note the small extent depicted on the 1958 map, which directly contradicts all the propaganda from current Arctic experts.
Science told them that the Arctic will be ice-free within a generation.
That map appears to be an “artist’s conception”.
How strange that they didn’t have a satellite image in 1958.
Should have asked E.T. for one. 😉
Yea, Sputnik 1, the very first man made satellite was launched just the year before. I don’t think that the US got a camera into orbit until 1959 or 60.
Feb. 28, 1959, the first polar orbiting satellite (Discoverer I) ever put in space was launched from Vandenberg Air Base in California.
The environmental writers at the NY Times are truly barking mad. Or easily duped. Or dumb.
“…. But there are estimable ones [scientists] all around Washington and the rest of the sizzling globe, and they’re happy to share their wisdom. The United Nations panel did precisely that, cautioning that a continued failure to reduce emissions of those gases would yield “food shortages, refugee crises, the flooding of major cities and entire island nations, mass extinctions of plants and animals, and a climate so drastically altered it might become dangerous for people to work or play outside during the hottest times of the year,” as The Times’s Justin Gillis wrote, laying out the stakes. They couldn’t be graver.”

The Democrats must have been counting on those 50 million climate refugees to arrive by 2010 and swing the elections in their favor.
Point of order – October 1958 to February of 1969 is ten years and four months… not nine years as stated.
