How Global Cooling Led To Widespread Droughts In The 1970s

In October 1974, the NOAA Magazine published this piece by Patrick Hughes about the detrimental effects of 30 years of global cooling (yes, the cooling that warmists insist never happened!)

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Many thanks. Another to add to the famous Newsweek “Cooling World” page
Climatologist, Dr. REID BRYSON (quoted in that article), was interviewed in 1976:
“How soon will we find ourselves in the next ice age?” One hundred years from now, or 9,000 years from now?” BRYSON replied: “The odds are very small for 100 years and approach a certainty for 9,000 years. There is, to put it another way, just the barest hint of a possibility that we could start a transition into a glacial epoch during the next century. The difference between the climate we have now and the climate we’ll have as we enter a new ice age will be so small here in North America that, for the most part, you won’t even notice the change.”
Back when a Science Journal had some science in it! Just skipped through the whole publication…a different world. Hope, hard work, endeavour and experimentation…now we have The Blob.
Wow, you mean when weather changes it causes all sorts of consequences? Who would have guessed? Anyone over 20 with awareness of life.
“Annual average temperatures over the Northern Hemisphere increased rather dramatically from 1890 through 1940, but have fallen ever since. The total change has averaged about one-half degree Centigrade”.
The cooling trend that prompted that article in 1974 and many others, of course, has vanished into the CC™ black hole:

I should say it hasn’t disappeared entirely but is now merely a remnant and they are still at it:
So the early 1970s cooling scare was “fake news” and no one really took it seriously.
Except Henry Kissinger of course, addressing the UN General Assembly about it in 1974. What was he thinking?
You made the assumption that Henry Kissinger WAS thinking. We are now seeing what a globalist he was/is.
Reblogged this on Tallbloke's Talkshop and commented:
NOAA confirmed in 1974 that global temperatures had been falling since 1940. But during that period so-called greenhouse gases were rising, leaving climate theorists with an awkward problem. Solution: ‘adjust’ the data.
Also the largest the most intense the most horrific and the deadliest tropical cyclone in modern times was in 1970.
But soon all was to change …
Some History …
The site called http://eugenicsarchive.ca/ is most informative about the Eugenics movement. From it’s early days of Darwin and his grand cousin Galton along with the many famous and enthusiastic Fabians.
Particularly interesting are the links to people, organizations and literature at http://eugenicsarchive.ca/discover/connections . There are many Fabian in the UN and in the national politics in just about every country today.
“Cleaning the gene pool” is their banner, however bad politics ensures that all-too-often this becomes some form of genocide or mass murder.
As the famous Fabian Julian Huxley, the vice president of Britain’s Eugenics Society (1937-44), had announced in 1946, “even though it is quite true that radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable.” Huxley was then director-general of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
So when you are beyond useful, you too will be terminated, or be led to an ‘easy’, painless death with managed pain medications (more suicide inducing antidepressants, or opiate type drugs anyone?).

Mid-1970s …
As the climate of Europe and North America seem to be coming out of it’s 20+years cool period the Malthusians held some conferences …
The preposterous claim that human-produced carbon dioxide will broil the Earth, melt the ice caps, and destroy human life, came out of a 1975 conference in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, organized by the influential anthropologist Margaret Mead, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in 1974.
Mead’s push was to force global cutbacks in industrial activity and halt Third World development. Mead is famous for saying, “Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.” , never realizing that only with many children can the few with exceptional talent can come.
Mead’s recruited a few prominent people to her malthusian cause — Stephen Schneider, George Woodwell, and the once AAAS president John Holdren — all three of them disciples of Paul Ehrlich, author of ‘The Population Bomb’. The 1975 conference they were all at, discussion focussed on the banal binary choice of either feeding people or “saving the environment.”
This North Carolina conference, took place on Oct. 26-29, 1975. It was co-sponsored by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the John E. Fogarty International Center for Advanced Study in the Health Sciences and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. (Mead had been a Scholar in Residence at the Fogarty Center in 1973.)
Mead stated:
Referring to the uncertainty of potential effects, she stated,
This statement by Margaret Mead was in effect a call to politicize science with her Malthusian views as the justification!
Mead’s co-editor of the proceedings, climatologist William Kellogg, notes that “the main purpose of this conference is to anticipate the call that will be made on scientists and leaders of government regarding the need to protect the atmospheric environment before these calls are made.”
He also stated (made an argument from ignorance),
“The important point to bear in mind is that mankind surely has already affected the climate of vast regions, and quite possibly of the entire earth, and that its ever escalating population and demand for energy and food will produce larger changes in the years ahead.”
He himself had put forward arguments that the release of the energy necessary to support a “large, affluent world population could possibly warm up the earth excessively.” another argument from ignorance for apparently he thinks this planet has no mechanism to cool itself.
The issues Kellogg laid out are all too familiar today: warming that will melt “the Arctic Ocean ice pack and the ice sheets of Greenland and the Antarctic.” and “What will happen to the mean sea level and the coastal cities around the world?” Kellogg asks.
All of this was called as the ‘crisis’ of the cooling planet was beginning to wane but but starvation was still high on the agenda, it definitely falls into that category of ‘never let a crisis go to waste’!
Increased carbon dioxide was high on the list of man-related climate change disasters. It was admitted that there might be other factors involved, however,
In the Conference summary of recommendations, Kellogg’s thrust is repeated: Scientists and policy-makers must act now on man-caused climate change. “To ignore the possibility of such changes is, in effect, a decision not to act.” Yet another call to politicize science!
Woodwell’s presentation, “The Impact of Enviromental Change on Human Ecology,” is even more alarmist. He writes:
A truly Malthusian idea, very anti-human! It has been shown often these imaginings are wrong, just by observations of nature’s methods of avoidance of those calamities.
John Holdren was there and often repeated these ideas while in office. Obama reprised them often while President.

And so from these small beginnings a mighty ‘Climate Change™’ industry was spawned, giving you unreliable, unsustainable, and nonrenewable electricity from solar panels and windmills (you CAN NOT manufacture either from so called ‘sustainable energy’!). And now through the UN and their IPCC these elitist DEMANDS more £$€
MBillions/year of your hard earned money through taxes!No we are not going to cook the planet into a ‘climate catastrophe’ from too much atmospheric CO2. Ultimately the sun controls our climate, and currently we are going towards https://www.iceagenow.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Frozen-Earth-Mateowebeu.png — image from http://www.iceagenow.info with comment —
[During the last ice age the entire earth was NOT covered in ice, but this is a fun image anyway. If the continents had been totally covered in ice, then sea levels would have been far, far lower and the continents larger, rendering this image totally wrong.]
Stay healthy and enjoy yourselves.
