1974 - Bering Sea Storm
The Bering Sea storm hit Nome, AK, on November 11-12, causing a storm surge of more than 13 feet. Water overflowed from the harbor, went over the sea wall in Nome, and rose to a depth of over 5 feet in the low lying areas of the city. This storm was the strongest in Nome's 113 years of weather records, producing the worst coastal flooding on record for the region. No lives were lost, but the flooding caused between $12 and $15 million in damages. Event History: Extratropical - Storm Surge and Coastal Inundation
wow! one person responded.
this is a snapshot of climate science in 1974 and the very real expectation of disaster from global cooling. it kinda disproves Old Rock's theory that only news magazines believed it.
it also uses extreme weather events to support its case just like we see today.
same shit, different pile.
What good is any science theory in changing public opinion if you don't have immediate examples of how it affects the public today?
While today --- no quorum of respectable climate scientists are blaming extreme weather on GW, they've made statements of what WILL happen.. A calculated move to give the MEDIA and politicians clear license to interpret that prognosis as a green light for "seeing" things happening today..
I like you comment about this showing that the Global Cooling scare really DID exist..
Wonder if somewhere in the DOD Pentagon files --- you'd find a 197X plan for Global Cooling Contingiencies.. I'm sure it's there.. Time for a FOIA request?? Ha!!

LOLOLOL....amazing....how many more times are you denier cult morons going to try to push this completely discredited myth? Have you no shame at all?

Abstract
Climate science as we know it today did not exist in the 1960s and 1970s. The integrated enterprise embodied in the Nobel Prizewinning work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change existed then as separate threads of research pursued by isolated groups of scientists. Atmospheric chemists and modelers grappled with the measurement of changes in carbon dioxide and atmospheric gases, and the changes in climate that might result. Meanwhile, geologists and paleoclimate researchers tried to understand when Earth slipped into and out of ice ages, and why. An enduring popular myth suggests that in the 1970s the climate science community was predicting global cooling and an imminent ice age, an observation frequently used by those who would undermine what climate scientists say today about the prospect of global warming. A review of the literature suggests that, on the contrary, greenhouse warming even then dominated scientists' thinking as being one of the most important forces shaping Earth's climate on human time scales. More importantly than showing the falsehood of the myth, this review describes how scientists of the time built the foundation on which the cohesive enterprise of modern climate science now rests.

Yes, we were lied to back then and we are being lied to now.

Your insanely paranoid response to scientific information that you're obviously incapable of understanding is rather hilarious.
it kinda disproves Old Rock's theory that only news magazines believed it.
You don't think the CIA was responding to news reports? I do.
it kinda disproves Old Rock's theory that only news magazines it also uses extreme weather events to support its case just like we see today.
same shit, different pile.
Look at the temperature trend from 1941 to 1979. They had a great deal more reason to believe the world might be cooling off than do any of these ignorant fudpuckers today.

"Another ice age is coming," many climatologists forecast. But no one really knows what might bring the glaciers crashing down.

So I guess that CIA pdf page7 quote should help settle this argument we`ve been having:Early 1970s a series of adverse climactic anomalies occurred
The world`s snow and ice cover had increased by at least 10 to 15 %
In the eastern Canadian area of the Arctic Greenland, below normal
temperatures were recorded for 19 consecutive months.
Nothing like this happened for 100 years
Strange how such major events can disappear without a trace with crafty statistics and a pretty graphArctic Ice Growth Since 1971
The next map overlays current ice extent on the 1971 map, with green representing ice present in 2013 that was not present in 1971, and red representing the opposite.
