And, just as good:
"MEDIA COVERAGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE:
Many in the media, as I noted earlier, have taken it upon
themselves to drop all pretense of balance on global warming
and instead become committed advocates for the issue.
"Here is a quote from Newsweek magazine:
“There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns
have begun to change dramatically and that these changes
may portend a drastic decline in food production– with serious
political implications for just about every nation on Earth.”
"A headline in the New York Times reads: “Climate Changes
Endanger World’s Food Output.”
"Here is a quote from Time
Magazine: “As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather
pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are
beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological
fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval.”
"All of this sounds very ominous. That is, until you realize that the three
quotes I just read were from articles in 1975 editions of Newsweek
Magazine and The New York Times, and Time Magazine in 1974.

They weren’t referring to global warming; they were warning of a
coming ice age. Let me repeat, all three of those quotes were published
in the 1970’s and warned of a coming ice age."
