My wife’s theory after seeing these historic news accounts, somewhat paraphrased: “People need to have drama. If there’s no drama going on, they will create some. People just got to have drama…
My own theory: If ANY of this were true, even one smidgeon…… impending meltwater drowning Manhattan, near-future blistering heat wiping out crops Worldwide, Los Angeles international airport on the verge of being submerged, etc etc……. you would see people putting their MONEY where their mouth is.
1) The stock markets of the world would IMMEDIATELY lose 90 percent of their value, 2) insurance companies and lenders would allow NO future development in Manhattan or any low lying areas – and anyone currently in the middle of a highrise project or heavy const project in these cities would be shut down immediately, 3) insurance flood maps would be INSTANTLY re-written (insurance industry would not WAIT for government in this case), and flood insurance in low lying areas would CEASE, 4) EVERY coastal city council – not just 2 or 3 – would be immersed in legal action, 5) the military-complex of every nation on earth would be frantically rebuilding and re-adjusting military infrastructure, 6) Las Vegas would be going absolutely crazy with new venues for gambling & placing bets, 7) institutional owners/operators of big commercial properties and REITs would be backing out of their positions like crazy, and 8) land speculation and revaluation would be GOING CRAZY across this country.
Here is some good news.

Heck, almost HALF the corn in this country goes into making ethanol fuel. There is NO reason for people starving ANYWHERE other than poor distribution and politics and genocidal maniacs
…and the ethanol doesn’t reduce CO2 one iota. It merely shifts it from one reservoir to another and back again
All that corn/ethanol results form ADM (Archer, Daniels, Midland) and their lobbyists on “K” street who write our legislation.
Sadly there is only one Donald Trump so my guess is that the SWAMP will survive long after he has left the stage.
The SWAMP will survive after Trump, only if we do nothing to help him.
Lets see, nine years before that Nova special came out the planet was threatened by global cooling and the next ice age (with very compelling scientific evidence):
The Coming Ice Age:

1986 was only one year after the worst US cold wave of the 20th Century that took place during January 1985 (see attachment).
Chicago got down to -27 F, Knoxville, TN got down to -24, Macon, GA got down to -6 and Jacksonville, FL got down to 7 F. Those are actual temperatures, not wind chill temperatures.
That outbreak was one of series of extreme cold outbreaks that took place between 1977 and 1989 that essentially pushed the orange industry at least 70 miles to the south. Then in the midst of these multiple historic freezes, these total idiots have the nerve to say that humanity was going to go extinct in 14 years from global warming. Talk about being out of touch with reality! Yet many of these bozos are still around 31 years later, making the exact same ridiculous pronouncements. Truly as insane as any doomsday cult you can find!
