CBS News: "Researchers say increasingly large amounts of CO2 are accumulating in the atmosphere. They fear the earth will gradually become warmer causing as yet uncertain but possibly disruptive changes in the Earth's climate 50 to 70 years from now." ...Sen. Paul Tsongas (D-Mass) Senate Energy Committee: "It's possible probable we really don't know. But if it happens it means goodbye Miami, goodbye Corpus Christi, goodbye Sacramento, goodbye Boston -- which obviously is much more of a concern. Goodbye New Orleans. Goodbye Charleston, Savannah, and Norfolk. On the positive side, it means that we could enjoy boating at the foot of the Capitol and fishing on the South Lawn."Gordon MacDonald, Mitre Corp Chief Scientist: "One model of climate the Jason climate model predicts that doubling carbon dioxide will result in August and Washington DC that are 9 degrees centigrade warmer or 16 degrees Fahrenheit than current summers but that the winters will only be 2 degrees centigrade warmer changes of this. Changes of this magnitude are very probably going to have a profound effect on agriculture, on all of the aspects of energy use and generation, and on water and land use."#Watch Now: Flashback 1972: Walter Cronkite on CBS Warned of ‘New Ice Age’ - On Sept. 11, 1972, Cronkite cited scientists’ predictions that there was a “new ice age” coming.

Climate Depot's Morano: “Climate fear promoters switched effortlessly from global cooling fears in the 1970s to global warming fears in the 1980s. In the present day, the phrase 'global warming' has lost favor in favor of 'climate change' or 'global climate disruption' or even 'global weirding,’Climate Depot Note: Just a few years earlier in the 1970s, the media was expressing concern over global cooling.

1922: 'Mountain after mountain of [Antarctic] ice will fall into the sea, be swept northwards by the currents, and melt, thus bringing about, but at a much more rapid rate, the threatened inundation of the land by the rising of the sea to its ancient level.' - The Mail Adelaide, SA - April 29, 1922

- James B. Meigs: The ‘Renewable’ Fallacy and Why I Blame Jimmy Carter
"If we are serious about making our economy cleaner, we should be choosing technologies that deliver the biggest environmental benefit at the lowest possible cost. Too often, in pursuit of the renewable rainbow, we’ve done just the opposite. We burden our energy economy with high prices and complex regulations, all for fairly meager improvements in our environmental footprint."
- Wash Post rewrites history & reality: Reagan now blamed for ‘global warming’ – ‘If Prez Carter had gotten an extra term in office, we likely wouldn’t be having a climate crisis right now’
WaPo: Carter put solar panels on the White House, and he called for “shared sacrifice” to confront energy shortages. But he couldn’t overcome voters’ frustrations with fuel prices and availability. The solar panels were removed during Reagan’s presidency. But Will Pattiz, 30, said time vindicated Carter. If “President Carter had gotten an extra term in office,” he said, “we likely wouldn’t be having a climate crisis right now.”

Climate Depot's Morano: "This may be a first: An expired climate tipping point we somehow all missed from 40 years ago!? President Jimmy Carter could not have been more wrong about energy in the 1970s. For the Washington Post to now claim that the alleged 'climate crisis' could have been avoided if Ronald Reagan lost in 1980 is a bizarro world fantasy. If Carter were concerned at all about "climate change" in the 1970s, it would have been most likely about man-made global cooling -- not warming. See: Don’t let history be rewritten! The facts about the 1970s global cooling ‘consensus’
Jimmy Carter’s Energy Speech of April 1977: Remember the 1970's energy 'consensus'?! Pres. Carter: 'The oil and natural gas that we rely on for 75% of our energy are simply running out.... World oil production can probably keep going up for another 6 or 8 years. But sometime in the 1980's, it can't go up any more. Demand will overtake production. We have no choice about that'
