Noted global warmist alarmist in 1978

[Old Rocks]

Do these deniers really think if they can convince us of something that isn't true (that the world of science thought an ice age was coming back in the 70's) that somehow that will convince us that there is nothing going on with the climate now?

Apparently they do.

Do they NOT understand that many here were adults in the 70s and we therefore KNOW that the world's scientists did NOT think the world was headed into an ice age?

Talk about your BIG LIE technique!

They're not just trying to rewrite history, they're trying to convince those of us who were THERE, that we don't remember what happened.

What hubris!

As someone that was introduced to the concept of a GHG driven warming in the mid-60's in a geology class, and who has followed the science and the climate since that time, this is the damnedest thing I have encountered.

I have actually had people try to convince me that I could not have read the 1975 PNAS paper correctly because it said an ice age was immenent. And when I asked them to show me where in that paper is said that, they start quoting Newsweek and Time.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Frank -

Try and focus. Seriously.

This thread is supposedly about how many scientists were predicting an ice age in the 1970's.

Actually, it was a media-driven scenario - only 7 scientific papers ever suggested such a thing.

During the same period, dozens more predicted climate change as we now know it.

First, fear not, you will get you NegRep in return as soon as I can

Second, I had no idea that "Science" was based on the number of papers either for or against a theory. Is there an over/under line?

At what point does the "science" become "Settled" when the ratio is 4-1?

 

[Saigon]

Frank -

You really should be embarrassed.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Frank -

You really should be embarrassed.

You should stop posting on the Internet

It uses energy

From burning "Fossil Fuels"

Which causes more CO2

Which melts the polar ice caps

So your stupid AGW posts are melting the polar ice caps

I hope you're proud of yourself

"I was fine until Saigon and Old Rocks started posting dire AGW warning on the Internet, now look at me"

I was THERE is the 70s, and there was hysteria over global cooling that would destroy all life on earth as clouds of pollution blocked out the sun. Not only that, but the hole in the ozone layer was going to expand until we all got cancer.

Those were the hysterias of the 70s.

Those were the hysterias of the 70s.

These are media articles, not scientific studies. A survey of peer reviewed scientific papers from 1965 to 1979 show that few papers predicted global cooling (7 in total). Significantly more papers (42 in total) predicted global warming (Peterson 2008). The large majority of climate research in the 1970s predicted the Earth would warm as a consequence of CO2. Rather than 1970s scientists predicting cooling, the opposite is the case.

Quite often, the justification for the few global cooling predictions in the 1970s is overlooked. Probably the most famous such prediction was Rasool and Schneider (1971):

"An increase by only a factor of 4 in global aerosol background concentration may be sufficient to reduce the surface temperature by as much as 3.5°K."

Yes, their global cooling projection was based on a quadrupling of atmospheric aerosol concentration. This wasn't an entirely unrealistic scenario - after all, sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions were accelerating quite rapidly up until the early 1970s (Figure 2). These emissions caused various environmental problems, and as a result, a number of countries, including the USA, enacted SO2 limits through Clean Air Acts. As a result, not only did atmospheric aerosol concentrations not quadruple, they declined starting in the late 1970s.

(Linked earlier - it's worth reading the entire article.)

 

[konradv]

Strange, I thought no reputable scientist believed there was going to be an ice age.

Once again you thought wrong. The problem comes with the use of absolutes. The real answer is a few did. The question you SHOULD be asking is, why have so many changed their minds? The aerosols which block sunlight have been largely eliminated in the first world and places like China are getting a taste of what it's like if they don't do the same. What hasn't been addressed fully are CO2 and other GHG emissions, hence the overwhelming scientific belief today that we're headed into a period of warming.

1974 Time Magazine: "Another Ice Age," June 24, 1974 - Excerpt: However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age. [...] Man, too, may be somewhat responsible for the cooling trend. The University of Wisconsin's Reid A. Bryson and other climatologists suggest that dust and other particles released into the atmosphere as a result of farming and fuel burning may be blocking more and more sunlight from reaching and heating the surface of the earth. [...] Whatever the cause of the cooling trend, its effects could be extremely serious, if not catastrophic. Scientists figure that only a 1% decrease in the amount of sunlight hitting the earth's surface could tip the climatic balance, and cool the planet enough to send it sliding down the road to another ice age within only a few hundred years.

You seem to be missing the point. We've done things about aerosols(cooling agents), it's the CO2 and other GHGs(warming agents) that are the concern. It's amazing that deniers keep bringing this up because it should pose the question, why have so many scientists changed their minds on this point? It's obvious the aerosols aren't the concern anymore, it's the GHGs and resulting AGW, thereby undercutting the deniers' arguments!!!

I have no idea at all what Kissme thinks he is doing here....it's like an automaton posting spam.

It is interesting to see that some posters simply will not and can not address facts - they ust keep regurgitating the same old myths.

 

[KissMy]

Climatologist Dr. Patrick Michaels, a prominent critic of the man-made global warming fears today, recalls how pervasive the coming ice age scare was when he was in graduate school. "When I was going to graduate school, it was gospel that the Ice Age was about to start. I had trouble warming up to that one too. This (greenhouse) is not the first climate apocalypse, but it's certainly the loudest,” Michaels said.

1970: First Earth Day Promoted Ice Age Fears – Excerpt: At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1970, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, "The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind." C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorological Organization said, "The cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed."

What were climate scientists predicting in the 1970s?

Let me guess, all the media articles quoting the scientific consensus about the coming global ice age were all part of a vast conspiracy to deny global warming.

Other than the small detail that I am not denying that there is climate change, or even that humans are contributing to that change, your make a pretty good point about how stupid I am. On the other hand, if you actually take all that into account, you look like a complete idiot.

I have a list of over 60 articles form the 1970s that show scientist were predicting an ice age because of the high levels of pollution in the atmosphere. If they were actually predicting global warming you should be able to come up with a corresponging list of articles to prove it. Until you actually do, you will remain the idiot standing on the corner tell us that zombies are taking over the planet.

National Academy of Sciences Issued Report Warning of Coming Ice Age in 1975

Newsweek: “A major climatic change would force economic and social adjustments on a worldwide scale,” warns a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences, “because the global patterns of food production and population that have evolved are implicitly dependent on the climate of the present century.” - Newsweek - April 28, 1975 “The Cooling World”

Crap. No, they did not. And the Newsweek article was also crap. That you post this crap shows that you are either woefully ignorant or liar.

I read the report the year it was published. And what it said was that we did not have enough data or understanding at the time to make an accurate assessment of what effects we were having on the climate.
http://www.wmconnolley.org.uk/sci/iceage/nas-1975.html

From the start of the Introduction:

"Climatic change has been a subject of intellectual interest for many years. However, there are now more compelling reasons for its study: the growing awareness that our economic and social stability is profoundly influenced by climate and that man's activities themselves may be capable of influencing the climate in possibly undesirable ways. The climates of the earth have always been changing, and they will doubtless continue to do so in the future. How large these future changes will be, and where and how rapidly they will occur, we do not know".

However, by 1983, the tone was quite differant.

http://scilib.ucsd.edu/sio/hist/nierenberg_early-climate-change-consensus.pdf

To summarize, we have tried but have been unable to find any overlooked or
underestimated physical effects that could reduce the currently estimated global
warmings [sic] due to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 to negligible proportions
or reverse them altogether. However, we believe it quite possible that the capacity
of the intermediate waters of the oceans to absorb heat could delay the estimated
warming by several decades. It appears that the warming will eventually
occur, and the associated regional climatic changes so important to the assessment
of socioeconomic consequences may well be significant, but unfortunately the
latter cannot yet be adequately projected.21

Are you trying to tell me that environmental scientists were not worried about the high levels of pollution in the 1970s? How do you explain all of these articles then?

Then again, you keep posting articles about all the new breakthroughs in solar power efficiency even though engineers have been saying the exact same thing since the 1960s. Maybe the problem here is that you are actually lying about your age, and you are really under 18 and woefully ignorant about history.
