Told a zoomer family member about the 70's as we were discussing "climate change". I even showed her the Leonard Nimoy "In Search Of...The Coming Ice Age" episode. A real eye opener for her, she at least tasted the red pill.

I remember Acid Rain in the early 90s (dating myself) supposed to wipe most plantlife out by the 2000's. I wonder what happened. Y2K and mass extinction was another one...

Its interesting because each generation has something akin to "the Xir who cried wolf". Anyone who knows of the multiple fearmongering Armageddon in 10 years mania in their own history will be desensitized to any "actual" planetary risk. Lie to me once, shame on you. Lie to me twice and I don't believe a word you say (looking at you news media).

I remember as a young teen in school I had to give a speech and somehow got stuck with acid rain. I didn't understand the subject very well and didn't really care, all I remember about that speech was talking about drinking acid and the jokes after the speech about acid trips.

Lol when was this? I though acid rain sounded cool in biology class when it showed a wet rock as a picture, but no one ever talked about it in school.

Sometime in the mid 90s. Don't remember the exact year.

Acid rain was legit. It fucking sucked. Now, would it have wiped out the forests/plant life? I don't think so.
