1.) Sixty years of climate change warnings: the signs that were missed (and ignored)

The effects of ‘weird weather’ were already being felt in the 1960s, but scientists linking fossil fuels with climate change were dismissed as prophets of doom
by Alice Bell
“In August 1974, the CIA produced a study on “climatological research as it pertains to intelligence problems”. The diagnosis was dramatic. It warned of the emergence of a new era of weird weather, leading to political unrest and mass migration (which, in turn, would cause more unrest).
The new era the agency imagined wasn’t necessarily one of hotter temperatures; the CIA had heard from scientists warning of global cooling as well as warming. But the direction in which the thermometer was travelling wasn’t their immediate concern; it was the political impact.
They knew that the so-called “little ice age”, a series of cold snaps between, roughly, 1350 and 1850, had brought not only drought and famine, but also war – and so could these new climatic changes.”

U.S. Intelligence Officials Warn Climate Change Is a Worldwide Threat
Their annual assessment says climate hazards such as extreme weather, droughts, floods, wildfires and sea level rise threaten infrastructure, health and security.

..."On the real life pressure of these findings
For me it's shocking, you know, reading all these different papers, and then realizing and putting these things into context, like, "Wow, this thing was there right in front of our faces?" I have to tell you that the motivation for us to do this paper was to see if climate change had something to do with the outbreak of COVID-19. I can tell you up front that we just don't know yet, but what I can tell you after doing this work is that there are at least 20 different ways in which COVID-19 could have been caused by climate change. And that, for me, is the worrisome thing. You know, regardless of whether it is now, climate change has at least 20 different ways in which it can create things as bad as COVID-19."
