Again, we can thank the New York Times and their infinite wisdom for publishing another piece in 1975 that claimed, “The world’s climate is changing. Of that scientists are firmly convinced … Sooner or later, a major cooling of the climate is widely considered inevitable.” Funny how planet Earth can change its mind so dramatically in just 39 years. Maybe they were talking about the big cool-off that will come after the current warm-up. That must be it!
