did you know that children born 2020 and after have a 0% chance of having a comfortable life after the age of 70 given the current policies in the world? Now you do.
In 1998 we were told by 2025 that most people would be wearing some sort of ozone filtering respirator and large chucks of Florida would be permanently submerged.
who was saying that? there was a scientifically backed ozone scare back in the 80s but thanks to things like the Montreal protocol CFCs were pretty well phased out by the late 90s because back then governments actually listened to scientists. i also can’t find anything about people saying florida would be submerged, back in the 90s the IPCC projected that by 2100 florida would see a sea level rise of tens of centimetres which is enough to really fuck florida
This was a statement from the oecd, but note that it's given the current policies. This means that this wel be the outcome if we carry on like this without changing a lot.
