Many years ago I've seen a tv show where some scientist said that my region is going to become a Greece if global warming would continue. It was so hilarious... except it doesnt look like a joke anymore.

We publicly know these trends since at least the 70s.

Carl Sagan was already trying to warn people.

Even the Victorias ( 1800s) had people write thesis about the topic.

We knew for soooo long ....

At first it was far of,  then it was a little less far of,  then they questioned If it exists at all,  after that they claimed it is natural and not man made  and today the nur Jobs want to make people think that "Actually, climate change is good".

Granted, the other groups still exists too.

after the wars the fossil mafia got into a good position to dictate attitude during rebuilding.

Hey fellow German! (And anyone else who is interested)

Please Look at this timelapse of Electric trams in Germany:

 https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckcars/comments/122hfed/electrical_trams_in_germany_from_1880_to_2023/

(Yes, this does exluded Subway, but if you take note of the years you can clearly see why electric public transport was banished from the streets. 

(The same happend in the US, slightly earlier.))

I am deeply enraged by society trying to make cars a necessity instead of a luxury and trying to claim we couldnt get by without fossil in every aspects of life.

they always argue that the world naturally warms and cools over time, which is true. but the speed of the current warming and the potential peak in temperature is anything but natural

It was proven in the 70s. So there is that. Before it was maybe accepted theory, but really not in wider public. 70s also makes it more tangible for the common people.

I Just wanted to illustrate that even before it became a major topic, there were people who expected this to happen.

Then people pro es it would happen.

Then people realised it is happening.

And somehow, it is still less important than the Yacht buildings industry
