In 1974, climate experts at the National Academy of Sciences wanted to evacuate six million people, to save them from global cooling

I like the last line of that article.
Nothing much has changed on that count in 40 years, either
I guess the NYT knew there was no money, or world grabbing, in global cooling.
In a word, no. It got warmer after 1974 and they merely changed the sign. I’m sure they’ll have no trouble doing it again should cool down manifest itself.
Scientists seeking to avoid the search for a new title each time the climate trend varies might opt for the more precise term – Global Conning.
I wonder what happened to Alan Anderson, Jr. He probably didn’t have a long career as a journalist: too much common sense, no addiction to fear mongering.
To me, that “humanitarian relocation” sounded like a land grab. Take a look at the Sahel region and its strategic location. Removing six million people who might contest control over resources or whatever would run afoul of United Nations edicts unless those people were “rescued for their own good.” Can’t simply pull a Trail of Tears on people today. The world watches!
Who knows what those actual mineral resources are….
Changing the Global Warming Metaphor by PETER BELMONT
http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/01/14/changing-the-global-warming-metaphor/print
“…To make the problems as small as possible, we should reduce the size of mankind–reduce the global human population–by as much as we can, say to 50% of today’s population. Because the process of neutralizing GHGs is likely to require the use of natural lands–unbuilt and presently non-agricultural lands–to serve as “engines” for neutralization, through the growth of new forests for example. And at present. our over-the-top human population is carrying us in the other direction, the direction of clearing the Amazonian forests and other forests in the pursuit of land for cattle raising and building-products, and both of these and other similar reasons all arise from over-population.”
Thank you so much tom. My dad is very sick with Lyme disease and may have the flu which could be very dangerous for him. After what I’ve seen this year, Lyme disease is more scary than global warming.
Nick,
I can see that your father simply made an honest mistake in his original comment I was responding to. Please go take care of him.
Speedy recovery to him.
Tick disease are bad news. I almost lost my husband to Rocky Mountain Spotted fever and he was ill from it for years.
Best wishes to your father for a speedy recovery.
So sorry to hear about you dad’s illness, my wish is for a full recovery and many happy years ahead. Dad’s are awesome, I miss mine every day, and think of him more. I have disagreements with my brother, and have for decades, but we still care about one another.
It’s tough man! Both my parents are on 24 hour home care and I could lose either one at any time. I sincerely hope your father wins this one. That disease can be far more debilitating than most realize and is just one of several good reasons for keeping deer populations under control.
Hey, Steve.
I have been one of your biggest advocates on Twitter. I am honestly wondering why you blocked me. Was it perhaps a misunderstanding, or a mistake? Just curious. It seems strange that you would block one of your strongest supporters.
@eachus
Lonny, I blocked you because you were overwhelming me with too many tweets. I will unblock you.
I apologize. I will attempt to moderate my replies.
If I should happen to forget and it becomes a problem again, please just mention it and I will cease.
Have you seen this?
From FEBRUARY 28, 2009 a blog that uses that same story but in a very different way
http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2009/02/28/174267/global-cooling-megaphone/
Isn’t that interesting?
Not really. Think Progress is a propaganda site of the Fabian Progressives.
I thought the mention of the Dec 29 story, with out mentioning the important parts, shows their bias very clearly.
Also note the comments are closed. Otherwise they would have been blasted off the internet.
……..
Of interest is Nigel Calder’s page. He was trained as a physicist and was an editor for New Scientist back when New Scientist was worth reading. He was there and reporting it as the science was happening.
https://calderup.wordpress.com/2010/05/14/next-ice-age/
The result of that warning to Nixon was the 1974 CIA report: “A Study of Climatological Research as it Pertains to Intelligence Problems”
………
Nigel Calder died about six months ago and the world is a poorer place as a result. RIP

Some background on the Milankovitch cycle and the 1950s – 1970s discoveries

As I said the Fabian Progressives can try re-writing history but there are too many of us who remember.
Since I lived at the time, it’s very hard to convince me that “there was no scare”, much less that it was the media behind it. OK it’s actually impossible to convince me.
I lived at that time and had to battle the snow drifts and freezing temperatures of Up-state New York walking to the bus stop and back. Funny how almost freezing to death and a case of frozen fingers and toes serve as reminders.
Gail your forgot to insert “uphill both ways” in your statement about walking to the bus stop in snow. =)
A little scrap of an article with some extremely vague references by some completely unknown times writer for the NYT magazine is your proof? With some highly misleading highlighting to make it seem even more substantial. Right at the start ‘a number of climatologists’ should have been the highlighted part. Then the proper question would have been, ‘how many?’ Turns out not so many. A survey of peer-reviewed scientific papers published between 1965 and 1979 shows that the large majority of research at the time predicted that the earth would warm.
Then the part about ‘some’ recent warnings again no names, ‘so worried’ (again unnamed) policy makers that ‘certain scientists’ (yet again no names) at a meeting of the National Academy of Sciences (finally a name and a prestigious one at that) proposed evacuting Africa. YES a fringe minority thought there might be some global cooling. Nobody in the government did anything. The thing is there is no balance between sense and nonsense and trying to claim the global cooling theories of a few in what is the stone age for climate science is just that – nonsense.
There was no money in global cooling, so it went away. The opposite is true of global warming, a trillion dollar industry with massive fringe benefits for governments.
And this was not the only article regarding the global cooling scare. When I lived in Germany in the 70’s, even the Alpine villagers had heard of the cooling scare. It was a big story, and maybe you are too young to remember.
