The Northeast United States, specifically Buffalo, New York, experienced a severe winter storm labeled the "blizzard of the century." Historical comparisons are drawn to the 1977 blizzard, noting that media reports during that era attributed extreme cold to global cooling. The current death toll in Buffalo continues to rise as the governor declares a state of emergency.
A brief discussion covers the historical decline of New York City, specifically referencing the major blackout of 1977. The hosts suggest that the current degradation of the city's infrastructure and safety mirrors that era and warn that similar large-scale power failures could happen again.
The special concludes with a 1970s news report warning of a coming ice age following the brutal winter of 1977 in Buffalo, New York. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak wrap up the episode, noting that the archival clips demonstrate the shifting nature of climate alarmism. They remind listeners that the next show, episode 1337, will be the "Leet" special and sign off from their vacation destinations.
Economic Cycles and the 2017 Downturn Prediction
An analysis of historical economic cycles, specifically the Panic of 1857 and the 1970s stagflation, suggests a major market downturn is likely in 2017. The current era of quantitative easing is compared to the 1849 gold rush, with predictions that the eventual collapse will be a significant buying opportunity for real estate and stocks.
1977 Global Cooling Report, ABC News, and Climate Cycles
Archival footage from ABC News in 1977 features climatologist Reid Bryson warning of an impending ice age. The report cites cooling temperatures in the North Atlantic and the retreat of armadillos as evidence that the Earth's 10,000-year warm period has ended. This historical perspective is used to challenge contemporary global warming narratives.
Earthquake Machines, UN Environmental Modification Convention, 1977 Treaty
The hosts present a 1977 United Nations document, the "Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques." They argue this treaty proves that technology to create earthquakes, tsunamis, and weather patterns has existed for decades.
