Many may not remember, but in the 1960s, 70s and into the 80s scientists had a “consensus” about the environment. They were sure that the world was on the brink of the next “ice age.”
Today of course, the “consensus” is that we have the exact opposite of that and “scientists” claim that we are about to experience global warming at any minute.
Here we have video rediscovered by the Media Research Center showing famed news man Walter Cronkite warning the nation about global cooling in a 1972 newscast.
On Sept. 11, 1972, Cronkite cited scientists’ predictions that there was a “new ice age” coming. He called that prediction from British scientist Hubert Lamb “a bit of bad news.”
“But then there is some good news,” Cronkite continued. “That while the weather may be just a little colder in the immediate years to come, the full extent of the new ice age won’t be reached for 10,000 years. And if you can stand any more good news, even then it won’t be as bad as the last ice age 60,000 years ago. Then New York, Cincinnati, St. Louis, were under 5,000 feet of ice. Presumably no traffic moved and school was let out for the day. And that’s the way it is, Monday September 11, 1972.”
It’s a “consensus,” ya know?
