When clowns start talking about the climate, watch your wallet.
Same old song and dance. The following is from the early 1900’s, Oops.

From the late 1800’s through the 1920’s Americans were convinced via the print media that we were heading for the next Ice Age. Yes, Global Cooling! In 1895 the New York Times (the paper of record) wrote, “Geologists think the world may be frozen up again”. In 1912 the L.A. Times reported, “The fifth Ice Age is on the way”. Chicago Tribune, 1923, “Scientists say Arctic Ice will wipe out Canada all the way down to the Great Lakes”. 1924, New York Times, “Signs of a new Ice Age”. This reporting continued through the balance of the ‘20’s.

A funny thing happened though; there was no Ice Age. After decades of dire warnings; nothing. Actually something did happen. Starting at the very end of the ‘20’s there was no more talk of cooling. In just a few short years the nation’s print media switched from Global Cooling to Global Warming.
