  1. I was living in Alaska then. Many of us had bumper stickers that read “Let the Bastards Freeze in the Dark”! We had some great years in the Great Land!

  2. If I recall correctly the next year’s winter was unseasonably mild. So mild, I never got to use my ice skates because the ponds never fully froze over.
    Imagine that!

  3. Fun fact: we are still in an ice age called the Quaternary glaciation, and have been for about 2.5 million years. For the past 11,000 years or so, the earth has been in an interglacial period where the earth has warmed somewhat. However, at some point the earth may go back to a glacial period where the polar caps will grow and the glaciers will advance – this is kind of what happens with ice ages.

    I like recounting this fun fact to my gloom and doom friends in the hopes it will make their heads explode.

  4. Way back…circa 1972, when I was a cynical long haired, dropout….I spent a lot of time at the library. I remember Omni magazine was full of that “we’re all gonna die!” hyperbole.
    Wonder whatever happened to Omni… and that ice age?

  5. Actually Leonard Nimrod was a staple on the early westerns. He had several appearances on Gunsmoke, Rawhide, etc. Makes you wonder how someone that close to the WWII era could turn out to be such a huge Libtard.
    But then again I guess Burt Lancaster was a straight up Communist. Refused to do pictures with John Wayne. It must be true, Liberalism is a brain defect.

  6. Ahh yes, the coming ice age plus peak oil. A twofer! Scare those rubes but good! Same solution for global cooling as for global warming and as a plus, same solution for climate change! Submit to one party collectivist rule, give up all your prosperity and personal freedoms, put your life in the hands of big brother, who knows all! Yes, it’s a dictatorship but big brother is a benevolent dictator… unless you step out of line…

  7. This happened before 78. I remember reading and hearing about this well before that. I remember my sister, who is older than I used to receive U.S.News and World Report and Newsweek as part of her High School curriculum and I remember seeing maps and charts where Florida would have climate like Michigan and Michigan would inherit a climate like deep north western Canada. And I’m still waiting for that ozone hole to take me away.

  8. I was born in ’76. I heard all that ice-age shit. And acid rain, and radon gas, and no more oil, and no more coal. And I would die from all these things, and cursive. I would die in a ditch with maggots in my eyes if I couldn’t write cursive.

    Now I hear a whole bunch of other bullshit.

    Cursive is gone, long division is gone, and where to put the decimal point in multiplication is gone.

    Just think that this dabbing retard nephew of yours will some day be designing shit in your automobile. Not just the color of your seats, but this motherfucking retard might be designing where your fucking oil filter goes. He may even become a politician.
