Or how silicon breast implants were surely to blame for health problems in women - in spite of a resounding lack of scientific/medical evidence. Later studies proved there was no link...
With a track record like this on many issues big and small, I think I'll pass on the hysteria.
Did you notice that "global warming" just isn't working as a cause anymore. Too much controversy over the so-called "unequivocal" evidence of it... Turns out it is not so unequivocal after all. I happened to catch a few minutes of the show, including good old Al speaking about the "climate crisis" - must be the new Orwellian-speak. Global warming isn't working, particularly in the midst of winter. Especially when evidence and scientific methods are questionable. But "climate crisis" - now that is something you can work with! Why, any bad or unusual weather? We can blame it on the climate crisis! Hot, cold, wet, dry, we got ourselves a workhorse of an issue here! :-/ Heck, there was a blurb on the headlines in Google today about scientists claiming they would need "Tens of Billions" of dollars to begin battling the climate crisis. Ah, now the real motivation comes out. Not to actually study the environment, but money, pure and simple.
The whole shift from the dying dog "global warming" to "climate crisis" is shockingly familiar. Where did I see that??? Oh yeah, in the book "State of Fear" - where the shift was from global warming to "abrupt climate change." You be the judge, coincidence? I don't think so. I think the radical tree-huggers are going by basically the same playbook.
