Like those that would deny the second specifically enumerated right to US citizens, the movement must be re-branded from time-to-time.
Well the acid rain thing was real. Don't recall anyone saying we were going to die over it but it was definitely causing damage to bodies of water and forests in the NE.
I recall it being taught it to be an apocalyptic matter when I was in school, so I’ll stick with my reasoning there.
I graduated in '87. I remember acid rain and the blown out ozone layer, but no global warming. I remember the coming ice age threats in the 70s though. Funny how all this sensationalism ebbs and flows with their newest give me all your money in the name of earth scams. For the record, this was all news coverage. None of that shit was brought up in school. Guess the indoctrination at that level began long after my time.
Real but overblown. In that instance there were regulations put in place to reduce NOx and SOx, but then again, that was using real science. But fear sells - even Christmas stories : start at the 45 second mark. I put part of the blame on Paul Ehrlich, author of "The population bomb" - a 1968 best seller from a biologist spinning warnings of upcoming starvation and death that didn't happen. Must have worked for some, Hollywood gave us movies like the Planet of the Apes, Logans Run, Damnation Alley, Mad Max, Silent Running, Soylent Green, etc. Same group of dirt worshiping hippies trying to take charge without any accountability for the messes they've already created but wanting more authority to make bigger changes.
I see that bullsh** and raise you some to f**n crazy Greta is the newest of the child preachers Climate change has jumped the shark - it's the Jonestown and Heavens Gate kind of crazy.
Is that being done in oil based paint? What manner of VOCs will it release into the ̶p̶i̶s̶s̶t̶i̶n̶e̶ I mean pristine atmosphere of SanFran's feces covered streets??? EDIT: Exhaustive 15 second google search reveals that the ""artist"" used spray paint. Aerosol spray paint on a cultesque mural of a manbearpig whacktivist. You literally can't make this shit up.

The comedy just writes itself. "British yacht skipper, 26, wiped out the carbon emissions saved by Greta Thunberg's sail across the Atlantic by flying out to the US to help her" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ions-saved-Greta-Thunbergs-sail-Atlantic.html
