It got so cold at times I thought my eyes would freeze, but I figured that was normal for Edmonton. It was also very pretty with lots of dry sunny days.<br /><br />I was sharing a house with a bunch of students and physics post-grads. I don't recall anyone at work or in the house or anywhere I traveled at the time mentioning they thought an ice age was coming. We got in some nice cross country skiing though.

It was quite possibly even the same year. Anyway in the mid to late 1970s I was studying at Melb Uni and we had a guest lecturer from CSIRO who showed us the outputs of their climate model of the day. <br /><br />He said exactly the same thing about the climate changing, though the focus of the lecture was south eastern Australia. <br /><br />It was in the back of my mind when I moved back to the region - this time to the Kiewa instead of the Ovens Valley. I'm guessing we might or might have been near neighbours. Just a hunch and I could be wrong there :)<br /><br />Anyway, one of the things still on my to do list is to dig out the lecture notes and see if there are any differences in the detail between what was being said then and now.

I ha...<i>"In Australia during the 1970s... "</i><br />I have a story there. In 1976, as a very junior CSIRO scientist, I took up a position in Perth. The WA gov't had a query. Wheat farming costs had changed, and it was now possible to farm marginal country where a crop could be harvested every second or third year. They were under pressure to extend their rail and support network. What were the climate prospects?<br /><br />I had contacts at Atmospheric Physics, so I was deputed to ask. The answer was unequivocal. The Greenhouse effect was coming, and would be bad for the wheat belt. The westerlies that bring the rain would move south as the Hadley cell expands.<br /><br />So CSIRO advised against, and no expansion happened. To make our point, there was a run of three very hot dry summers. But the advice is still looking good.<br />Nick Stokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377413236983002873noreply@blogger.com
