1975: Cientistas alertam sobre a era do gelo
The Cooling World
Newsweek, April 28, 1975
Here is the text of Newsweek’s 1975 story on the trend toward
global cooling. It may look foolish today, but in fact world temperatures had
been falling since about 1940. It was around 1979 that they reversed direction
and resumed the general rise that had begun in the 1880s, bringing us today back
to around 1940 levels. A PDF of the original is available here.
A fine short history of warming and cooling scares has recently been
produced. It is available here.

over global warming to visit our website: Climate Debate Daily — Denis Dutton
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 output could begin quite
soon, perhaps only 10 years from now. The regions destined to feel its impact
are the great wheat-producing lands of Canada and the U.S.S.R. in the North,
along with a number of marginally self-sufficient tropical areas – parts of
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indochina and Indonesia – where the growing season
is dependent upon the rains brought by the monsoon.
