Episode notes
Origins of 1970s Global Cooling Myth
- Global cooling fears in the 1970s stemmed from a slight mid-century temperature dip and sulfate aerosols reflecting sunlight.
- However, scientists mainly observed warming overall; cooling was a minor and regional phenomenon.
Cooling Was a Minority View
- Less than 10% of scientific papers in 1965-1979 predicted global cooling.
- The majority favored warming, showing cooling was never the scientific consensus.
Scientific Consensus Settles on Warming
- By 1980, scientists had dismissed global cooling in favor of global warming.
- Sulfate aerosol cooling effects were outweighed by greenhouse gas warming.
