That and the flash frozen woolly mammoths, the little ice age, and the very warm Europe reported during the emergence of the modern world. So this globull warming thing is intentional deception and that is what makes me made. I’m forty and I remember in order the following deceptions starting in elementry school:
1. The emerging ice age.
2. The population bomb.
3. Energy crises that said I wouldn’t be driving a petroleum fueled car.
4. Ozone Depletion (what the hell happened to that crises?)
5. Y2K
6. Globull Warming.
That list does not even include the proposition that I was to be raptured and never see high school.
So here we live in the new modern rational age and I can come up with 6 very nasty catastrophic fear mongering certainties that I was taught as a kid and as an adult. Then add the rapture as frosting on the cynical cake. (Im not saying rapture will never happen but come on! I was just a kid!)
List update:
In the 70s, it was global cooling. We were all going to freeze to death. The temps didn’t cooperate, so a couple of decades later, it became global warming. The temps didn’t cooperate, so more recently, it has become global climate change.
Ironically, we’ve had climate change every year since the globe started spinning. We used to call those changes: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, and they happened every year. Some years were more severe than others; some years were more mild than others.
