Let's not mislead by comparing apples& oranges.

Science

Very good Bub. You left out a poignant quote.

"Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one
thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry,
high-altitude polar winds — the so-called circumpolar vortex—"

Perhaps Higgs can run this stuff through his grammar checker and see if
it should have any effect on his mental illness...

Time Magazine - Monday, June 24, 1974 [within your 30-40 year time frame]

"...when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe
they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past
three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing.

"...the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of
another ice age.

"Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7° F.
Although that figure is at best an estimate, it is supported by other
convincing data. When Climatologist George J. Kukla of Columbia University's
Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and his wife Helena analyzed satellite
weather data for the Northern Hemisphere, they found that the area of the
ice and snow cover had suddenly increased by 12% in 1971 and the increase
has persisted ever since. Areas of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic, for
example, were once totally free of any snow in summer; now they are covered
year round."
