    I read once that Al Gore campaigned in the 1980s with climate change as one of the action points.

    I was taught climate change in earth science in high school in 1982. The was no controversy. It was taught as an accepted fact and settled science, which it was.

    It has been heart breaking to see basically the worst case predictions come true.

      oh yeah it was known if the momentum coming out of the 70’s kept going straight through to now we would likely not be in such a bad spot. We would still be talking about climate change as a future thing. Unfortunately reagan removed jimmies solar panels from the white house and taught-ed how taxes and regulation was bad and greed is good and the market will take care of everything and well now we are here.
