> AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The Time cover labeled in social posts as coming from 1977 is actually a cover from 2007, with the image altered to change the title from “The Global Warming Survival Guide” to “How to Survive the Coming Ice Age,” Time magazine archives show.
- sunseb 7y agoThanks! I didn't know what! What about the 1979 image?

- mikestew 7y agoThis is going to come off as impolite, which is not my intent. But I don’t how else to effectively drive the point home: one doesn’t post drivel and then it’s up to everyone else to disprove your convenient narrative. Ain’t nobody got time for that, take responsibility for what you post.
- dexen 7y agoStrange. You seem to have posted a link to a source discredited on the subject of climate. The fact that we are seeing the same headlines for many years now should have been an obvious giveaway to you before you posted it. https://www.apnews.com/bd45c372caf118ec99964ea547880cd0 https://www.apnews.com/bd45c372caf118ec99964ea547880cd0 >June 30, 1989 > A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.
- danso 7y agoYour response to an assertion that an image is outright doctored is to post a quote from a senior U.N. environmental official?
- dexen 7y agoYou fact-checked a meme. That's more befitting Snopes[1] than serious HN discussion. Thus my joking response - mirroring your post's form & logic, and yet arriving at the opposite result. Essentially me lampooning your position "factually wrong but morally right"[2], as the (UN environmental official's) quote turned out to be factually wrong. I will stick to the "> The fact that we are seeing the same headlines for many years now should have been an obvious giveaway" part tho. -- [1] https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-fact-checker-declares-war-on-satire-11566428259 https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-fact-checker-declares-war-on-...

- danso 7y agoThe submitter of the image did not believe it to be a meme.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoYour quote appears correct "if the global warming trend" is not reversed by year 2000. It hasn't and we still appear to be marching towards the lower lying island nations, such as the Maldives, disappearing. There is no mention of when they will disappear. So it appears to strengthen rather than weaken the argument.
