Hell, I can remember back at the dawn of the enviro-weenie movement back in the early 1970's there were doom and gloom pronouncements from them that we had nly very few eyars left to reverse the pollution problem before we killed off all life on the planet. Every damn magazine had articles regularly on this.
I don't care any more, and have not for 30 years. They've cried "WOLF!" too many times and been completely wrong every time. When I see one of those panic mongering articles now, I automatically refuse to believe. I might read it to see if the writer is trying a new argument, but I will not accept their premise. If it is a Hollywierd celebrity (Ted Danson, Leonard DiCrappio, etc), I will not even read it now.
