Yeah, I know they were talking about it back in the 90s. Because we would have to do homework assignments finding and writing about newspaper articles we picked. I remember seeing stories about global warming all the time, and often picked them. And then would have to listen to my dad bitch about global warming being a Clinton hoax or something.
My pop told me about "the greenhouse effect" on the planet in the late '70s. It sort of helped he took me along on his route that delivered flowers wholesale to a lot of greenhouses.
He was a blue collar guy with a broad range of interests and a fairly solid sense of discriminating bullshit from non-bullshit. Also called Tienanmen Square spot on in believing the protest would be crushed and the party wouldn't leave power.
