1. Should you trust what Climate 'Scientists' and the Media say about Climate Change?
2. Do we REALLY have 12-years left to avert global climate catastrophe?
3. Should we be instilling fear into our children that the planet is doomed? 
4. This thread will trace the last 50 years of warnings spread by the Media since 1970.
YOU DECIDE whether you should be skeptical of climate "science".

As of April 1975, Newsweek said the evidence for widespread planetary cooling was "ominous" and "has now begun to accumulate so massively that meterologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it." Scientists warned of the grim reality of a cooling world. Famine is imminent.

BUT the results somehow have stayed the same – the deaths of millions or even billions of people, widespread devastation and famine.

24. It all begins on Aug. 22, 1981 with the NY Times quoting 7 government climate scientists who predicted global warming of an ‘ALMOST UNPRECEDENTED MAGNITUDE.’
25. Odd how the media didn't question the findings of these 7 scientists to find out how the climate crisis changed so abruptly & drastically?
26. Nevertheless, by 1982, according to the media and the UN, the world faced an environmental catastrophe with devastation as great as nuclear holocaust within 2 decades "unless governments act NOW."

2019 - THE WORLD IS GOING TO END IN 12 YEARS if we don’t address climate change!
usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
90. For the past 50 years, Climate Scientists keep saying the world is going to end yet they still can’t even predict today’s weather.
91. First it was going to be a new ice age, then it was global warming, and now it is climate change.
92. Of course, the climate has been changing ever since the beginning of time; and, of course, it’s still changing now. Climate changes, that’s what it does.
93. Chicken Little? Boy Who Cried Wolf? The parallels for what Climate 'Scientists' & the Media have been doing in regards to “climate catastrophe” is striking. You can only cry wolf so many times before the public no longer believes you.
94. Make no mistake. Taking care of the Earth is NOT a partisan issue. We MUST plan responsibly & thoughtfully for our future, and take care of the environment that we all live in.
95. Whether Democrat or Republican, Liberal or Conservative, Left or Right, we all love the great outdoors. We want clean air and water. We don't want smog, contamination, or pollution. We can all come together for our planet. BUT the sky is NOT falling from climate change!
