"What we’ve got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the
global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have
approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we
will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and
environmental policy. "
—Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)
”The continued rapid cooling of the earth
since WWII is in accord with the increase in global air pollution associated
with industrialization, mechanization, urbanization and exploding population.”
—Reid Bryson, “Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man”,
(1971)
" In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be
extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the
stench of dead fish."
—Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)
”This [cooling] trend will reduce
agricultural productivity for the rest of the century."
—Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976
”There are ominous signs that the earth’s weather patterns have begun
to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in
food production—with serious political implications for just about every nation
on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon… The evidence in
support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that
meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it. “
—Newsweek, April 28, (1975)
”This cooling has already killed hundreds
of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will
cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about
before the year 2000.” —Lowell Ponte in “The Cooling”, 1976
