“Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Aerosols: Effects of Large Increases on Global Climate”, Ichtiaque Rasool and Stephen H. Schneider, Science (July 1971) – Rasool’s work ignited the concerns about global cooling.

Quaternary research (vol 2, #3, 1972) was focused on “The end of the present interglacial.” From the conference summary:

“Global cooling and related rapid changes of environment, substantially exceeding the fluctuations experienced by man in historical times, can be expected within the next few millenia; perhaps even centuries.”

In it was “The end of the present interglacial”, G.J. Kukla, R.K. Matthews & J.M. Mitchell. Here is what appears to be a fair summary imo, although by a strong supporter of AGW,

“When comparing the present with previous interglacials, several investigators showed that the present interglacial is in the final phase … and that if nature were allowed to run its course unaltered by man, events similar to those which ended the last interglacial should be expected soon, possibly within the few next centuries.

“…the basic conclusion to be drawn from the discussions in this section is that the knowledge necessary for understanding the mechanism of climate change is still lamentably inadequate”.

“Brace Yourself for Another Ice Age”, Science Digest (February 1973) – Excerpt:

“Baffin Island, located in the Canadian Arctic, now is covered with snowbanks all year after having been snow free for 30 or 40 years prior to the temperature drop. Pack ice around Iceland has now become a serious hindrance to navigation. Warmth loving animals once found in abundance in the northern part of the American Midwest in the early 1900s are settling further south.”

“The cooling world”, Newsweek (28 April 1975)

“Scientists Ask Why World Climate is Changing; Major Cooling May Be Ahead”, The New York Times (21 May 1975) – Excerpt:

“Sooner or later a major cooling of the climate is widely considered inevitable…The drop in mean temperatures since 1950 in the Northern Hemisphere has been sufficient, for example, to shorten Britain’s growing season for crops by two weeks.”

“Understanding Climate Change: A program for action”, National Academy of Sciences (1975) — This is perhaps the most important item, but I cannot find an online version. Does anybody have one? There were also associated Congressional hearings, I recall, which resulting in significant funding incrreases for climate science.

Of course. Armand Hammer, Jacob Schiff,Paul Warburg — there are plenty of plu
tocrats who promoted Communism, especially in other folks’ countries.

Fabius Maximus replies: that is a very cynical — and very insightful — comment!

“Researchers studying long-term changes in sea temperatures said they now expect a “lull” for up to a decade while natural variations in climate cancel out the increases caused by man-made greenhouse gas emissions.”

We listen, because the experts inevitably speak in well-maintained auditoriums, which would not be economically feasible without the quiet support of the plutocrats. Those who do throw fruit get noticed and either shunned or co-opted by the plutocrats, their old-boy network, and their establishment.

Fabius Maximus replies: In university halls, large funded by donations from plutocrats, I heard much leftist doctrine preached — even communism was fashionable back then. That is not to say that you are wrong, as over time the dynamics you describe work quietly and powerfully.
