1972: Walter Cronkite Warns of Coming Ice Age
It is interesting how the scientists back in Walter Cronkite’s day were predicting an Ice Age. Should we assume the Scientist today are wrong too? One thing is for sure. We are polluting the World we live in. We are destroying the planet. According to Tom Lupshu “The coming of another Ice Age is an event serious scientists have never been able to predict from observable Earth phenomena. Contrary to the conventional wisdom of the day, the real danger facing humanity is not global warming, but more likely the coming of a new Ice Age. What we live in now is known as an interglacial, a relatively brief period between long ice ages.”
“Unfortunately for us, most interglacial periods last only about ten thousand years, and that is how long it has been since the last Ice Age ended. How much longer do we have before the ice begins to spread across the Earth’s surface? Less than a hundred years or several hundred? We simply don’t know. Even if all the temperature increase over the last century is attributable to human activities, the rise has been relatively modest one of a little over one degree Fahrenheit an increase well within natural variations over the last few thousand years. While an enduring temperature rise of the same size over the next century would cause humanity to make some changes, it would undoubtedly be within our ability to adapt.”
