1) A forty-year-old TV show isn't a 'Current Event'.
2) Do you have a point citing something a now-dead actor said decades ago? (actually, I know your point but instead of playing games, why don't you just come out and say it?)
3) We are presently in an ice age. Thus, the idea that one is 'coming' is nonsensical.
4) Got any more points to make? Maybe backed up by something Ed Sullivan once said, or perhaps an article in the National Enquirer from 1973?
Time, Newsweek, and the networks said the same thing in the 1980s.
Today of course they've done a 180.
You can cherry-pick the occasional article from the past which claimed 'The ice age is coming!', especially if you focus on general interest magazines. Not sure why you'd cite them as an authority, though. Of course, you haven't even done that - you've just asserted that this happened, with nary a shred of supporting evidence.
But what were climate scientists saying in the past?
Well, well. The overwhelming majority of the peer-reviewed literature from the 1960s and 1970s supported what? A rise in the global temperature! No 180. Wait, let me guess - you had no idea, because Hannity and Limbaugh told you the opposite was true, right? Maybe you should crawl out of your Fox cocoon and smell reality once in awhile.
Actually, we've been in the current ice age for the past 2.2 millions years. A glacial period is what we had for just a bit longer than 100,000 years and which ended about 11,700 years ago. Right now, we're having an inter-glacial period. And I'm not making any comment about global-warming here-----that's another matter.
