Just heard Rush talk about this so I went and looked it up!

YORBA LINDA, Calif. — Documents released Friday by the Nixon Presidential Library show members of President Richard Nixon's inner circle discussing the possibilities of global warming more than 30 years ago.

Adviser Daniel Patrick Moynihan, notable as a Democrat in the administration, urged the administration to initiate a worldwide system of monitoring carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, decades before the issue of global warming came to the public's attention.

There is widespread agreement that carbon dioxide content will rise 25 percent by 2000, Moynihan wrote in a September 1969 memo.

"This could increase the average temperature near the earth's surface by 7 degrees Fahrenheit," he wrote. "This in turn could raise the level of the sea by 10 feet. Goodbye New York. Goodbye Washington, for that matter."

Nixon also installed price controls on oil. Nixon did a lot of dumb things.

Unless Nixon had set up some sort of Shadow Government, he was not president 30 years ago.

No. Posting the four year old article seems relevant only to you moniker, and that isn’t pudding you are trying to stir.

He took us off the gold standard also didn’t he?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, oh, wait.

Since they did hate Nixon, for all the wrong reasons, doesn't that explain why the left promoted "the next ice age is here" and "nuclear winter" during the 1970s?

Yet for all their hand wringing and gloom and doom, the temperature rose only about 0.1 degrees F and the ocean rose by a millimeter or two.

If Washington had paid more attention to the growing Islamic Storm during the following 30 years, perhaps part of New York & some residents would still be around today…

LOL! Good point. But I think it had more to do with the fact that we had a series of relatively cold winters at that time and they thought the shtick would be an easier sale.

What isn't funny is the prescription for global cooling was exactly the same prescription being pushed for global warming: give the left control of the economy and industry and they will fix it.

In office. January 20, 1969 – August 9, 1974.

Global famine too. And ‘gay’ was a choice back then.

You forgot the part where Nixon was President during Christmas 68, when he sent John Kerry on his secret mission in Cambodia.

Yeah, and he implemented wage and price controls too.

Remind me why he was considered a great anti-Communist again?

I understand that Nixon signed the bill that established the EPA. The problem is that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to protect intrastate environments. So Congress had no constitutional authority to make the bill apply to intrastate land imo.

What?

I didn’t say I believed it!

I said it was relevant because it is just one more tool to use against the Global Warming crowd!

You have jumped to a conclusion that I support this cr@p and you are wrong!

Rush is not a ‘leftie’ is he?
