WOLF!:

The Cooling World (Newsweek, April 28, 1975) (via Dennis Dutton)

Here is the text of Newsweek’s 1975 story on the trend toward global cooling. It may look foolish today, but in fact world temperatures had been falling since about 1940. It was around 1979 that they reversed direction and resumed the general rise that had begun in the 1880s, bringing us today back to around 1940 levels.

Mr. Dutton seems blissfully unaware that the "but" just compounds the foolishness.
