The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with the
increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization,
mechanization, urbanization and exploding population.

Man", (1971)
The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo

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. The drop in food production could begin quite soon... The
evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so
massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it.
-- Newsweek, April 28, (1975)
This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it
continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world
chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000.
-- Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976
If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for
the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year
2000...This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age.
-- Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)
