Nice article put together by the CEI showing the last fifty years of climate apocalypse predictions. I remember all this stuff. From the new ice age to the population bomb to global warming. " By the year 2000…" Is how the media would scare the children back in the day…
All good religions have an apocalypse for sinning… Usually a flood. You know rising sea levels. Like how NYC was supposed to be partly under water by now…
Ignoring problems and leaving them to the next generation has been the acceptable norm for too many people and climate change will be no different. Geriatric conservatives have made it very clear they don’t really care as they will be in the ground by the time the consequences of their inaction come back to bite us.
So you support conservatives who bomb any chance we have at lowering our deficit in order to hand massive tax cuts to rich people, ignore the fact the planet is warming at an alarming rate, ignore the plague of gun violence, roll back emissions standards for vehicles, promote coal instead of renewable energy sources, and help to foster a society where ugliness and division based on race/gender/sexuality etc is promoted.
At best the tax cut lost 100 billion over ten years, but I’m sure it made us billions as it is keeping us out of the current global economic slow down.
(Due to global Cooling)…“By the next century (= by the year 2000) The consumption of Oxygen by combustion processes world wide will surpass all the processes which return oxygen to the atmosphere.”
It is too much drama and hyperbole for the young people. Climate CHANGE does not even make sense…It is like calling water wet.
The US should be proud of the measures we have taken over the last 50 years to improve the environment and yes we can do more WITHOUT the hysterics…the kids get it.
We were sold this in elementary school on a weekly regarding the coming ice age.
Look, it’s September 19th and I just got out of my pool to get another beer. It’s 86 and without a heater it’s 80 degrees in the pool. Who am I to argue!
What kills me is that it’s all a giant political ploy to get more tax revenue for corrupt politicians all over the globe…and they’ve managed to herd so many sheople into their pen of ignorance, to bleet out fear…to their fellow sheople.
