In the 1970s, we were warned about an oncoming ice age. In the ’80s, acid rain warnings were prevalent. In the ‘90s, we were told that the ozone layer was imperiled. In the aughts, the polar icecaps were said to be endangered.
None of the above happened, of course, but when you are a true believer, little things like reality are shoved aside.
Yeah, most of these things didn’t end up happening… Because people took the warnings seriously and action was taken to prevent the worst outcomes! And now you get idiots like this arguing that the warnings were pointless because the events didn’t happen (thanks to taking action early), so we should ignore the next one…
