In fact, in the 1970s, the German Green Party proposed replacing nuclear with more coal power plants.

They were anti-nuclear first, the whole CO2 thing only ever started to get traction with them when they won their first Atomausstieg and needed a new topic to terrorise children into next-generation voters with.

What was a bigger issue in 70s, 80s and 90s? Nuclear power, Chernobyl just happened as did the Pershing deployment, the Ozone layer or climate change? To answer the question, climate cjange only recently got the traction it deserves. Assuming you believe global warming is an actual problem, and not just something evil Greens and environmentalists are scaring our youth with.

Oh, I believe both. Things can both be a real problem to be tackled and the basis for ultimately useless fear-mongering. Usually, the evil Greens focus on the latter.
