[ExI] global warming discussion 40 yrs ago

[Gregory Jones]

Those of you who were around back then, do you remember discussion of global warming in the very early 70s?  I do, and I wondered if I halucinated it.  I recall from those days there was disagreement between experts whether the future would be hotter or colder.  It wasn't clear who was right, but the colder thing was a lot scarier to me.
 
In retrospect we learn that Nixon was a big envionmental guy.  Rather, it shouldn't be big news: a bunch of environmental legislation passed on his watch, the endangered species act, clean air and clean water laws, etc.  Check this:
