I’ve been hearing “we only have five years left!” for the 40 years I’ve been paying attention.

    I’ve just been sharing this with my FB “friends.”

    He left out the acid rain.

    I had forgotten all about the acid rain. I went home from school crying one day because some guest speaker we had told us elementary school kids about the horrible deaths awaiting everyone we care about from the acid rain, complete with gruesome dramatic enactment. Took my mom HOURS to calm me down.

    Hole in the ozone, too. We banned freon. The hole closed up. There may have been a cause/effect relationship. There may have not. If the hole reappears, they’ll insist that we ban something else.

    Seems like as good a time as any to reread Watermelons: The Green Movement’s True Colors. Maybe the powers that be could get James Delingpole on for a podcast soon?

    Its unfortunate you used that word when following a comment about Bartiromo.

    We’re milking the comment for all it’s worth.

    Udder nonsense.

    Supposedly caused by chlorofluorocarbons.  But those weigh 82 times as much as the average of air, so how they were getting into the upper stratosphere was a bit of a mystery.

    Oh, and they were used in most common asthmas inhalers. Then the feds declared that henceforth no CFCs shall be used in inhalers. Lucky us.

    Since then, when the government talks about bad air causing asthma, I tend to give them a mental finger in response.
