According to my calendar, 1984 has come and gone. Nevertheless classical Orwellian Doublethink is alive and well in the minds of at least two prominent Climate Alarmists.

Did you snicker? Smile? Titter? Roll your eyes, scoff, execrate, deprecate, or otherwise excoriate? Then to the back of the class with you!"

Holdren: Ice age will kill 1 billion
Obama's science chief blames man-made carbon emissions

White House science czar John Holdren has predicted 1 billion people will die in
"carbon-dioxide induced famines" in a coming new ice age by 2020.
As WND previously reported, Holdren predicted in a 1971 textbook co-authored
with Malthusian population alarmist Paul Ehrlich that global over-population was
heading the Earth to a new ice age unless the government mandated urgent
measures to control population, including the possibility of involuntary birth
control measures such as forced sterilization.
Holdren's prediction that 1 billion people would die from a global cooling
"eco-disaster" was announced in Ehrlich's 1986 book "The Machinery of Nature."
Holdren based his prediction on a theory that human emissions of carbon dioxide
would produce a climate catastrophe in which global warming would cause global
cooling with a consequent reduction in agricultural production resulting in
widespread disaster.
