"America in Longest Warm Spell Since 1776; Temperature Line Records a 25-year Rise" stated an article in the New York Times on March 27, 1933. The media of yesteryear was also not above injecting large amounts of fear and alarmism into their climate articles.

An August 9, 1923 front page article in the Chicago Tribune declared: "Scientist Says Arctic Ice Will Wipe Out Canada." The article quoted a Yale University professor who predicted large parts of Europe and Asia would be "wiped out" and Switzerland would be "entirely obliterated."
December 29, 1974 New York Times article on global cooling reported that climatologists believed "the facts of the present climate change are such that the most optimistic experts would assign near certainty to major crop failure in a decade."

yeh, maybe right, of course, but the global warming scenario can produce an ice-age via fresh water from melting antactic ice. a la `Day After Tomorrow` movie.

Michael Crichton is generally pretty good (I assume you are referring to `State of Fear` ?) but government and media scaremongering doesn`t change the reality that weather patterns are increasingly extreme.

That weather patterns are increasingly extreme, you could learn only from scaremongering media. Just make a simple search and you'll see that more serious extremes already happened in the remote past. For example here.

You should watch the making of that movie. The makers themselves admitted there was pretty much nothing scientific about it.

And weather patterns aren't becoming more extreme, our pattern of living is. Fact is, hurricane activity has been way down the past few years. And even in those years it was up and they broke the record on named storms, much of that has to do with the fact that we are better able to detect those storms than ever before, and we are naming even sub tropical storms,
