How Global Cooling Threatened The World’s Food Supply

It was not just the US which had catastrophic weather in the 1970s.

This article in the NOAA magazine of April 1974 shows just how worried scientists and governments were about global cooling:

This chart for the India Monsoon highlights the major switch from bountiful rainfall during the period of global warming to the widespread droughts of the 1960s to 80s:

    And this is the world the eco-loons want to take us back to.

      Yeahssss ( with a great long sigh – about as long, now, as this winter has been).  I keep telling you all ‘ It is a Generational Thing’.  If only the younger generation of Teachers had taught the latest generation of ( what can you call them ?) the REAL Facts of science and history.

    I’m waiting for the BBC to tells what the effects of global cooling and reduced CO2 will be.

      I think it will have closed down before it ever does.

    Weather changes! Who knew?

    It looks like the Arctic sea ice is on something like a 60 year cycle with a maximal cooling phase in the 2030s. Which matches the 1970s “cooling” scare. We all know that all temperature “records” are now so heavily adjusted they are meaningless, but we should start to see some repeats of the 1970s type cooling phenomenon. Until 2040s and 2050s, we start to see the next phase of the warming scares.

      The Arctic has a 60-70 year cycle of warming and cooling. I read about this right at the start of my educational journey in understanding the global warming scam.

      Beware the approaching Grand Solar Minimum. Possibly the most accurate (although not precise) prediction of the trajectory of global temperature (so far) is that made by the Russian Astrophysicist, Habibullo Abdussamatov in his 2008 paper…

      ‘The Sun Defines The Climate’:

      The intense solar energy flow radiated since the beginning of the 1990’s is slowly decreasing and, in spite of conventional opinion, there is now an unavoidable advance toward a global temperature decrease, a deep temperature drop comparable to the Maunder minimum (Fig. 5). […]

      The tendency toward a decline in global temperature observed in 2006-2008 (Fig. 7) will stop temporarily in 2010-2012. Then an increase in the [Total Solar Irradiance] is expected, as solar cycle 24 (a “short” [sun spot] cycle) will temporarily compensate for the declining bicentennial component. But if solar activity in the “short” cycle does not rise sufficiently, the cooling of planet [earth] will begin to the deep temperature drop in 2055-2060 ± 11 years, when temperature will be lower by 1.0 – 1.5 degrees. The following climate minimum will last 45-65 years, after which warming will necessarily begin, but only at the beginning of the 22nd century (Fig. 8).

    So basically the weather et all is cyclical and seems to have 25 and 50 year and probably 250 year, cycles which the sun has influence on too. I’m glad to see we’re learning…..
