“The Earth Is Cooling, Return of Ice Age Is Feared

—Snow banks cover areas of Baffin Island today which were seasonally snow-free 30 or 40 years before the present cooling, J. T. Andrews and his colleagues at the University of Colorado at Boulder report. Similarly, pack ice around Iceland is once again becoming the serious hindrance to navigation it was during the “‘little ice age”

“The threat, according to scientists from a score of institutions who gathered at Brown University in Providence, R.I., recently to share information on “The End of the Present Interglacial,” is not that miles thick ice sheets are about to come sweeping down out of the north, returning us instantaneously to an ice-age climate.

It is rather that there are already signs that the earth is cooling in a cycle similar to those that heralded earlier great glaciations, And, while it may »e several centuries before any major global effects are felt and several thousand years before ice sheets return, preliminary signs are already apparent. Scientists fear that detailed knowledge of past climate cycles and the consequent ability to predict future timetables are still woefully inadequate.

“Global cooling and related rapid changes of environment, substantially exceeding’ the fluctuations experienced by man in historical times, can be expected within the next few millennia; perhaps even centuries,”’ according to a commentary on the Providence meeting by George J.Kukla of Lamont Doherty Geological Observatory in New York, R. K. Matthews of Brown University and J. Murray Mitchell Jr. of the National Oceanic end Atmospheric Administration.”

Pack ice around Iceland is becoming a serious navigation hindrance to an extent unmatched since a “little ice age” in the 17th and 18th centuries.

England’s growing season has shortened a week to two weeks since 1950 and the Arctic ice and snow cap has expanded 12 per cent since 1964.

@North Atlantic surface waters have been cooling for the last 30 years. The tepid Gulf Stream, a major warming influence on Western European weather, has retreated south about a sixth as far as it did at the height of the last full fledged ice age, 20,000 years ago, according to ocean bed fossil records.”

    I remember it well. The New Ice age is coming and shock, horror, there will be a worldwide shortage of long underwear!

    Maybe a bit off topic , but I found some interesting headline about a new WEF law coming soon to a country near you.

    Canadian law endorsed by Trudeau government could imprison people for life for Speech crimes.

      Too bad the Canadians gave up their guns. Gun running to the North may become profitable and great fun. Also remember that Saskatchewan and Alberta are fighting back. Maybe they should join with Quebec and withdraw.

      • arn says:

        Strange btw, that at the same times they started to get Canadian guns they did the same in Australia – and trying this in your country too.

        The Synchronicity they are pushing the very same odd things in many different domains(health,censorship,food,climate) at the same time is only matched by their Zealotry to go full commie/fascist whenever they get a chance to do so – no matter how tiny the reason.

      Speech crime? Orwellian to the nines.

  3. Francis Barnett says:

    Thoughtcrime?

    • arn says:

      Not only thoughtcrime but pre-crime, where you can be put in jail if they think you can commit a crime in the future.

      Straight out of Philip K Dicks novels.

    I started grad school at CU in the Geology Department in 1971 in “hard-rock” studies. But I remember John Andrews (delightful Scottish brogue) and all his grad students describing their work on Baffin Island

    I also recall buying my first home in Boulder in 1972 and shoving lots and lots of snow (something remarkable for a California kid). It got so deep in the Spring that I foolishly climbed on the roof to shovel some of it off.

    That pattern lasted all through the 1970s

  5. Conrad Ziefle says:

    I came to Colorado from Texas in 1970, had no job and little money. Rented an apartment next to Cheesman Park and remember the first snow storm in September and listening to the tree branches breaking in the park in the middle of the night. I wondered what I had gotten myself into.

    Weather modification is real , climate change not so much.
