DO YOU TRUST NEWSWEEK, GIVEN THE HISTORY THEY HAVE OF PUBLISHING ARTICLES PREDICTING A DOOMSDAY SCENARIO?

I don't particularly read mainstream mags like Newsweek, but they do print interesting articles now and then. In the first article dated 1975, I think they went a bit over the top. Hyping the story helps to attract someones attention and sell more of the magazine. In the magazines defense, the data given by the National Center for Atmospheric Research was the best data at the time and the cooling trend was a reality. The following quote from the NCAR explains why that was so.

As industrial activity increased following World War II, sun-blocking sulfates and other aerosol emissions helped lead to a slight global cooling from the 1940s to 1970s.
