    Spot on! When I first arrived in Australia over 40 years ago as an Eastern European refugee, I was amazed to see those "Nuclear Free Zone" signposts all around Melbourne. It seemed so ridiculous and laughable especially as I had only just escaped the nuclear-armed communist bloc through the Iron Curtain. Having served (as a conscript) in the army, I could not recall any special instruction that we should be sparing the enemy's nuclear free zones. My first encounters with people of my age group resulted in my amazement and disappointment how ignorant and naive Australians were about the reality of the world. Today I am feeling a strong deja vu when I watch street demonstrations about climate change, Palestine, etc. I guess it will all eventually fizzle out just like all the other "current things" did. But we can't allow those silly loonies take over. The huge propaganda posters on my local leftie Council building keep reminding me of that on a daily basis.

    The end of the ozone hole is due to changes to CFC manufacture. It takes several decades for CFCs to diffuse high enough to affect the ozone layer, which accounts for the delay. Industry opposed the end of CFCs... until they realised the reformulation and ban would give them a monopoly.
    Acid rain was due to the large number of coal burning power stations, which we replaced with gas. Ironically the sulphur dioxide from coal burning was keeping the temperature down ,so a lot of the global warming was down to abandoning coal.
    The effect of CO2 is massively exaggerated to an hysterical degree. The change is real but insignificant. First the temperature change only affects high latitudes. Second the change will mostly be to night time temperature. Third the CO2 is getting reabsorbed by plant growth (the 30% rise in crop yields per acre over the last 30 years is mostly due to higher CO2). I could also add the increase in leaf area equal to the Amazon forest - the planet has become measurably greener. We are even seeing signs that the Sahara is about to flip to rain forest, (as has happened regularly in the past). You'll notice most of these effects are due to CO2 not temperature. You do not die if you turn your thermostat up by a degree at night - anyone suggesting otherwise is talking hysterical nonsense.

    by Al Gore ....both books talking about the end of the world....both proving to be utter nonsense...and yet they were believed at the time. ...my teenage years were devoted to saving the rain forest, this being the reason , at the time., for changes in climate and after a time , roundly ignored. I also remember the Ozone Layers going to kill us stories, Europe's ice age stories where melting ice would destroy the gulf stream and plunge us into an ice age......more recently i obtained a book by Patrick Moore, Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats Of Doom, this puts a different perspective on climate change which is more to my thinking, oddly a person of science rather than an activist or young schoolgirl. Worth a read. Maybe Sadiq Khan and his C40 cities group could read but then again , would not raise the amount of tax needed to maintain his and his groups lifestyle . But it needs the BBC and certain media outlets to read it and bring out an alternative view......not likely to happen....maybe one of the reasons government shy away from reforming the BBC ..Is it really all about tax?

      You are making the error of looking to the past, and finding the things that were incorrect. The idea that everything ever predicted would be correct is unimaginably unlikely.
      On top of this, some of the scares resulted in action being taken which prevented those outcomes. The ozone layer is an example. Don't you remember the CFCs being taken out of all automatic fire suppression systems, and all refrigerators ? We did something, and it worked.
      We will in fact re-enter an ice age. About 50,000 years. But the things that go on between now and then are worth looking at.
      Patrick Moore is borderline insane. Not a good source of information.
      The Earth will never be uninhabitable for humans. That is absurd. However at the marginal level, there will be larger areas of desert, and the people will need to move from there. Depending on how old you are, you can expect an influx of Yemeni - something to look forward to.

    Acid rain in the West ceased mainly because the power generators were changing from coal fired plants to oil and particularly natural gas plants were much lower in sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions anyway. Also much of the heavy iron & steel and other industries responsible for large scale SO2 emissions were also being shut down either completely or to be replaced by more efficient plants with lower emissions. If you go to some areas of China, India etc. where they are still using outdated plants, you will probably find plenty of evidence of localised acid rain damage.
    The hole in the ozone layer was caused mostly by so called CFCs and other such chemicals which were often used as refrigerants. These were phased out over a period of time to be replaced in some cases with the chemicals that they had been introduced to replace.
    Back to SO2, it has actually been suggested that the cessation of large scale emissions of this pollutant has in fact resulted in accelerated global warming as it actually reflects a percentage of solar radiation back into space thus countering the green house effects resulting from CO2 / CH4 emissions. If you pump anything into the environment faster than the environment can deal with it naturally you will have a problem. For years we have been pumping untreated sewage into our waterways faster than the natural processes can deal with it and the effects are now becoming obvious. The answer is simple, treat the sewage before you discharge it. The same is true with CO2 emissions but for some reason the environmentalists never want to talk about carbon capture schemes and other measures that may negate any harmful effects from the burning of fossil fuels. Most of these so called environmental groups are nothing mor than Marxist organisations that are trying to undermine the West. During the Greenham Common protests did you ever see any of those women protesting outside the Russian embassy about the SS20 and 22 nuclear armed missiles pointing at Europe, including Britain? No, I thought not. I'm not a climate change denier I just believe that Net 0 is a load of BS that will achieve nothing except destroy many Western economies and impoverish millions of ordinary people.

    Overpopulation strikes me as the next big worry. The reason we keep improving our pollution levels and yet the global warming scare continues is that we, the US, the UK and Europe, have little to do with it. China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, even West Africa produce the bulk of global warming pollution, and they're doing nothing whatsoever about it. "Global warming" is just a symptom of overpopulation, which is the real culprit. Parts of Indonesia and India reached 120 F / 51 C recently, so if we don't do something it seems mother nature will.
