That was in the 70s, it's almost 2020, things are changing and it's not a result of different things imo. Its just that the more we wait the more it'll get worse. We are procrastinating.

Things are always changing, just like they were in the '70s (keep in mind this is after the world wars). They were warned back in the '70s, did anything happen to stop the pollution? Not really, it's only gotten worse. But none of the rhetoric and predictions they had at the time ever came to pass.

The First Earth Day
April 22, 1970
We only have one earth, so we need to take care of her. That's what Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin believed. He was disturbed that an issue as important as our environment was not addressed in politics or by the media, so he created the first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970. An estimated 20 million people nationwide attended festivities that day.

Do you know that they have been saying and predicting the same thing for decades? Things certainly didnt get any better, and yet 5 decades ago they were predicting that we wouldnt be alive today.

Now it's a fact that the climate certainly is changing, but perhaps maybe it is a result of a different situation all together? Perhaps since the north pole has been shifting and moving rapidly, and has been accelerating every year?

Who knows.

Nobody knows exactly. But the signs are all there for intelligent people without an agenda to put together.

But I thought climate change wasn’t real

Isnt it also funny that as far back as 50 years ago, acclaimed scientists were warning us about climate catastrophe. But here we are in 2019, surpassing every prediction ever made..

Here's a few example.

Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that “civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”

"Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction." — New York Times editorial

These are quotes from the 1970s.

If I am wrong with any of my examples, do let me know.

it doesnt matter if they predictions are of by give or take 2 to 3 decades, we need to act now

when exactly? January first??

Jup. The government lowered the taxes from 19% ( the taxes for "luxury goods" ) to 7% and the Deutsche Bahn wants to give this lowering directly to the customers
