I can say that it was common knowledge, or at least presented that way, that all civilization was going to die in the next 10,000 years due to smokestack and tailpipe emissions. Pictures of extinct frozen wooly mammoths in a block of ice were cited as proof.
I thought you were old enough to have lived thru that scare. The scare tactic hysteria was prompted by political agendas driven by extrapolated climate data.
Hence, it is understandable why I am a little skeptical of scientific theories coupled with political mandates, but ole zeek is convinced that it is due to "LC programming." Whatever!  |
Not answerable?
As I recall it, even in the '70s when there was far less a consensus about climate change among the scientists who study it than there is today, most of the scientists studying the phenomenon were more concerned with global greenhouse warming.
