IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY GOT YOUR HANDS ON SEN. JIM INHOFE’S “The Greatest Hoax,” here’s a graph from the chapter entitled “The build-up to alarmism” that ought to send you right over to Amazon: “Such tactics had certainly worked to their advantage before. Take, for example, a quote from The New York Times reporting fears of an approaching ice age: ‘Geologists think the world may be frozen up again.’ That sentence appeared more than 100 years ago in the February 24, 1895 edition of The New York Times. Then, a front-page article in the October 7, 1912, New York Times, just a few months after the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank, declared that a prominent professor ‘warns us of an encroaching ice age.’ The very same day, The Los Angeles Times ran an article warning that the ‘human race will have to fight for its existence against cold.’ An August 10, 1923, Washington Post article declared ‘Ice age coming here.'”

Inhofe goes on the same vein in the succeeding graphs, explaining how things changed by the 1930s when the dire MSM prophecies reverted to predictions of eminent global warming, but you will just have to get the book to read the rest of the story.
