Ahhh young folks. Until about the 70s all the media, leading scientist and organisations were concerned about the impending ice age.

So no, people then could not be bothered by the global warming, as they were actively scared of the horrors of the coming ice age.

How times have changed.

Nonsense.

You actually fell for the early FUD being spread by the fossil industry?

And you're still parroting it 50 years later?

Have another pack of death sticks and kick back with nine out of ten doctors sucking back cancer.

In the 70's we were still trying to get rid of lead in paint and gasoline while being concerned about the giant hole in the ozone.
