Some of us are old enough to remember.

Yes, and I will be somewhat facetious here but- remember when - in the 70s - that the icebergs were going to take over the earth and we could just ‘imagine’ what would happen when it snowed heavy in July and in unpredictable amounts in what we knew as ‘winter’..
Of course it never happened so ‘they’ noted that icebergs indeed did ‘grow’ but now - some 20 or so years later - the danger was the icebergs melting because of the global warming, which sufficed for awhile till people started going to Antarctica to view the melting icebergs and getting stuck in the ice floes.......etc etc etc
I personally stopped ‘trusting adults - ie govt’ back in the 50s when we learned in Boot Camp that just buttoning up your sleeves and NOT face the atomic blast did not suffice and the hiding under the desks was just some more made up BullSchiff.....
People don’t seem to realize that it is hard to ‘follow the lead’ when the ‘leaders’ contradict themselves on a daily basis......
