Here is the full episode of "In Search Of The Coming Ice Age ... With Leonard Nimoy (1978)."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQRqr9_jw5I

In the 70s it was the ice age. In the 80s it was mad max/global desert. In the 90s it was global flooding and all land underwater In the 00s it was back to global warming In the 10s it was weather related changes due to the debunked theory of man made climate change. "The weather channel" claimed 10 hurricanes per year and no more people living in Florida. In the 20s it was climate change brought in shit skins to white countries.

My university physics professor was already going at the "climate change" crap back in his class in '85. I pretty much ignored him but I did remember his fervor.

I found it out of place in a very conservative university. Not that we knew anything about "climate change" but that most of us at that time were just thinking about making a life (and money) and didn't give a crap about that shit.

My university days were a lot different than those in current year.

edit: the "ice age" stuff started back in the 60s, read Larry Niven books, he had one about it.

My retired dad had to have his AC recharged and instead of the $20 it used to cost it cost him $600. No scam here goy, look the other way.

90s were also acid rain from the factories.

'Since the world is not governed by chance, but by a Divine Ruler who does not change His purposes at random, men are alarmed, and naturally alarmed, at the extraordinary signs in the heavens, and ask with anxious hearts what events these may portend. The Sun, first of stars, seems to have lost his wonted light, and appears of a bluish colour. We marvel to see no shadows of our bodies at noon, to feel the mighty vigour of his heat wasted into feebleness, and the phenomena which accompany a transitory eclipse prolonged through a whole year.

'The Moon too, even when her orb is full, is empty of her natural splendour. Strange has been the course of the year thus far. We have had a winter without storms, a spring without mildness, and a summer without heat. Whence can we look for harvest, since the months which should have been maturing the corn have been chilled by Boreas? How can the blade open if rain, the mother of all fertility, is denied to it? These two influences, prolonged frost and unseasonable drought, must be adverse to all things that grow. The seasons seem to be all jumbled up together, and the fruits, which were wont to be formed by gentle showers, cannot be looked for from the parched earth. But as last year was one that boasted of an exceptionally abundant harvest, you are to collect all of its fruits that you can, and store them up for the coming months of scarcity, for which it is well able to provide. And that you may not be too much distressed by the signs in the heavens of which I have spoken, return to the consideration of Nature, and apprehend the reason of that which makes the vulgar gape with wonder.

'The middle air is thickened by the rigour of snow and rarefied by the beams of the Sun. This is the great Inane, roaming between the heavens and the earth. When it happens to be pure and lighted up by the rays of the sun it opens out its true aspect; but when alien elements are blended with it, it is stretched like a hide across the sky, and suffers neither the true colours of the heavenly bodies to appear nor their proper warmth to penetrate. This often happens in cloudy weather for a time; it is only its extraordinary prolongation which has produced these disastrous effects, causing the reaper to fear a new frost in harvest, making the apples to harden when they should grow ripe, souring the old age of the grape-cluster.

*Cassiodorus, circa 538, speaking about the aftermath of whatever happened in Anno Domini 536.

People have been afraid of inclement weather ever since there were people. Bad weather can kill you really quickly so it was a survival trait honed into us over millions of years to be in tune with the weather.

Survival trait + jews = a bad time for all (except them).

Nice historical perspective btw.
