I remember Jaques Cousteau used to claim that the oceans would be too polluted to sustain life in 15 years.

He was making these statements in 1975. I was a kid and was a bit alarmed when I heard him say these things.

At least Costeau woke us up to the dangers of so much ocean dumping. It was never a vehicle to enrich himself.

With albore, it’s all about getting rich off the gullible and harming America’s economy.

We have cleaned up our environment in many ways and there is nothing wrong that for it’s own sake. It’s the snake oil BS about global warming being our fault that is so devious.

"a kid"

Maybe you remember Paul Ehrlich of "The Population Bomb" infamy. He was on all the talk shows with his number one bestseller in the late sixties prophesying hundreds of millions of starved to death humans by the 1990's. It never happened. And I've never read anything in Big Media by lib reporters who regret being played for fools by that charlatan. Ehrlich is still a big name in the enviro-wacko movement. Apparently in the leftist movement when you get proved one hundred percent wrong, it elevates your status.
