Coal industry journal in 1966:

"temperature of the earth's atmosphere will increase and vast changes in the climates of the earth will result. Such changes in temperature will cause melting of the polar icecaps, which, in turn, would result in the inundation of many coastal cities, including New York and London."

Mining Congress Journal 1966-04: Vol 52 Issue 8, August 1966, Page 55.

@iamnotjohnnytarrthankyou It’s quaint how they assumed consumption and population wouldn’t exponentially increase over that time.

They didn’t know what they were on about then. Clearly this is just the natural cycle of the planet. /s
