Letter: Chilling predictions

Published 13 April 2005

From Ivor Williams

William Connolley maintains that 30 years ago no one said an ice age was coming (19 March, p 29). He obviously hasn’t read Nigel Calder’s “Imminent arrival of the ice” in the BBC’s Radio Times (14 November 1974), or David Bowen’s “The next, inevitable, glaciation” in Geographical Magazine (August 1977), or “Chilling confirmation that the next Ice Age is on the way,” in New Scientist (24 November 1983, p 575). There are dozens more.
