Remember the past?
1960s, Green House Effect caused by...pollution!
1970s, Coming Ice Age brought on by...Pollution!
1990s, Global Warming caused by...Pollution!
And how bad was it in the past as compared to now?
Before 1970, rivers caught on fire from oil slicks.
Lead was in everything from paint to gasoline. Mercury was in everything. Cities had excessive smog days.
Cancer causing food colors were in everything.
Autos belched lead laden exhaust fumes. No Catalytic converters back then.
Nothing had emission controls, power plants belched black smoke 24 hours a day.
Oil refineries belched yellow sulfur fumes from the stacks.
DDT, Dioxin, PCBs were in everything.
Every city had it’s private trash dump where you could dump anything. ANYTHING.
Flush your toilet and the waste went straight into the local streams and rivers.
You fed cattle grain, then ran hogs behind to eat the cow waste, the ran chickens behind to eat the waste grain in hog waste. Cut the meat up with the same saw and sell it to the public.
Change your oil in your car and you just pour the old oil on the ground. Same for diesel fuel.
The Mississippi River at St Louis was clogged with animal fats from the slaughter houses.
And people think it is bad now. It is nothing like the past.
