The next years are going to be fun… The world is burning while the fossil fuel industry is chugging along like everything is great as long as you buy enough co2 credits.

I’m scared in what kind of world my children will have to live in…

When did they talk about Global Cooling? Sources please.

Who are these doom sayers you are talking about?

1975.

They were wrong but they did talk about it.

So you are comparing a one page article in a magazine, based on a handful of interviews, to the scientific consensus that climate change is real? (https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/)

No worries.

It was a short-lived thing based on like one or two articles that were basically … well, not bullshit but not really of any significance.

I read a sci fi story based on this premise which had a lengthy afterword taking about how it was based on an outdated and inaccurate doomsday scenario and how it was a product of its time.
