Scientific American claims that the 1970’s global cooling scare consisted of nine paragraphs in Newsweek in 1975.
How the “Global Cooling” Story Came to Be – Scientific American
The Scientific American claim is rather incredible, given that the Newsweek article referenced specific people at NOAA, The National Academy of Sciences, and used temperature data from NCAR.
I could write an entire book of references to the 1970’s global cooling scare, but here are a few highlights. In 1972, “42 top American and European investigators” from the National Science Foundation wrote a letter to President Nixon warning of a new ice age within a century.
NCAR’s top people were warning of global cooling.

NASA has since (quite predictably) erased the cooling.
The list above is just barely scratching the surface. As I mentioned, I could write an entire book on this topic.
Organizations which depend financially on global warming alarmism (like NASA and Scientific American) have ramped up their lies and fraud to a level which was supposed to be fictional in Orwell’s novel 1984.
