I read once that Al Gore campaigned in the 1980s with climate change as one of the action points.

I was taught climate change in earth science in high school in 1982. The was no controversy. It was taught as an accepted fact and settled science, which it was.

It has been heart breaking to see basically the worst case predictions come true.

And what we've seen so far is only the start, my heart does indeed ache when I think about what is to come.

One bright spot is that the climate change tragedy inspired this simply amazing onion news piece: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DyjfrJzdx7DA&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjJicrxl8iCAxWcxgIHHV3WDVAQtwJ6BAgKEAE&usg=AOvVaw2qSrV1Lq5NP6h5MJHedODg

oh yeah it was known if the momentum coming out of the 70's kept going straight through to now we would likely not be in such a bad spot. We would still be talking about climate change as a future thing. Unfortunately reagan removed jimmies solar panels from the white house and taught-ed how taxes and regulation was bad and greed is good and the market will take care of everything and well now we are here.

Fucking reganomics wrecked everything good we had going for us.

And it still is, too.

If you cannot walk outside the door wherever you are right now and see the evidence of climate change it's only because you don't know what to look for, cause it's there.
