“Acid rain in the 80’s”??
The EPA was created in the 40’s because the Ohio, Delaware rivers and Lake Erie were so polluted that the fumes coming off the were blocking our radar and the toxic rain was destroying military electrical equipment.
Most environmental laws are made out of necessity or it costing the powerful money

Acid rain and ozone depletion were very much real and measurable, and a problem that everyone agreed to fix. Melting ice caps remains a huge problem, but not enough is being done to actually fix, maybe there is no good solution yet, i dunno.
That ice age thing was funny, dont know many people who believed that. But it was before my time. The oil crisis thing ive never heard.
I am still concerned about the rising temperature of oceans more than anything. That and heavy industrial oil and gas companies going bankrupt and abandoning highly toxic and volatile sites around where I live.

Yeah, science Is completely optional, don’t worry about global warming, it will all be fine, these evil scientists want you to believe oil companies are evil and bad for the environment and they will use every tool at their disposal to fool you, DON’T BELIEVE SCIENTISTS, ONLY BELIEVE IN BILLIONAIRES.

But like, all predictions aside, we will EVENTUALLY RUN OUT OF OIL. It’s a fact, the real conspiracy is how oil companies can know that but still push for burning fossil fuels to such an extreme extent.

In the 1970s, many reports discussed “proven reserves”, which referred to economically recoverable oil based on technology and prices at that time, not the total amount of oil underground. As technology advanced and prices increased, more oil became economically viable to extract, expanding proven reserves. For example, hydraulic fracking and deepwater drilling were not economically feasible in the 1970s but are now major contributors to supply.
The concern wasn’t that we would completely “run out” of oil but rather that cheap, easily accessible oil would dwindle, leading to higher prices and potential shortages. Which was a legitimate concern based on the geological data at the time.
70s ice age myth [explained here](https://youtu.be/5E7K70DFLJQ), it’s based on Milankovitch cycles, which we now understand to be disrupted. Those studies never even considered human induced changes and was never the prevailing theory even back then, warming was
We [stopped using the chemicals that were increasing the hole in the ozone](https://youtu.be/0ZfBgjUnXIs) through worldwide collaboration and regulation.
Yup, acid rain was a problem and we made adjustments to defeat it with controls on sulfur dioxide and Nitrogen oxide emissions, the O-zone was disappearing and we removed chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in aerosols that were depleting it.
Neither of those adjustments led to higher taxes.
That’s not me saying it’s okay to have higher taxes to combat climate change, I’m just pointing out that they are bad examples, maybe on purpose since it’s extremely obvious to anyone.

yolonaggins on
Some experts believed that we would run out of oil in the 60s because they failed to account for new extraction methods like tracking and deep sea extraction.
Out of all 49 studies done on climate change in the 70s, only 7 predicted global cooling. The media latched onto that because it sounded more dramatic.
Acid rain was solved through environmental legislation. The Clean Air Act mandated stricter emissions standards for coal power plants, among other things.
The ozone layer was fixed through an international agreement that banned ozone-destroying chemicals. It was arguably the most successful piece of international legislation ever, with all 198 UN members signing onto the agreement.
Some early studies predicted rapid loss of the ice caps, some saying within 5-7 years, however the consensus was that it would take much longer. Some people point to the recent gain in arctic ice as a good sign, but this is the result of an anomalous weather event. From 2003-2023 there was a net loss of 1.85 trillion tons of arctic ice.
This post is legitimately brain dead.

Acid rain was real. But it only existed in places like california who were to blame. They then.nPushed on everyone else like europe with their climate nonsense. Now everyone suffers from their stupidity and faults. They are continuing this trend with other issues to this day. TheynCause and live with a problem and then blame everyone else and act like they should fix the problems they exist in.
