Horsesh*t. You're a moron, who doesn't understand the subject and you're simply regurgitating propaganda created by people, who make money from fossil fuels. For them - every day, that regulations on carbon emissions are postponed, is worth millions, if not billions of dollars. And you're the kind of dipsh*t, who will accept a comforting lie, over harsh reality, because at the end of the day - you don't give a sh*t what kind of world your children will have to live in. Hey, Jezzles is going to come whisk you all away, to Neverland, any minute now, isn't he? No need to worry about this sh*thole planet, then...
I'll bet you don't believe cigarettes cause cancer either, right? Because for over half a century tobacco companies used the same tactics fuel companies are using now, pretending that there was still a debate over it, when there wasn't, so that addicts could lie to themselves and keep buying their sh*t.
There was never human-caused "global cooling", that 99% of scientists agreed on, like they do on climate change. It was a fantasy, that people used to like to read about, so newspapers wrote about it for a while - just like they did with, say, Satanic cults in the 80's, that were never a thing. You're confusing scientific consensus, with popular opinions of uneducated morons, like yourself.
The cooling of the atmosphere, due to clouds of heavy particles emitted by industrial chimneys, that would block out light, thus lowering temperatures underneath - that was something scientists knew about back in the 70's, just like they knew about the possibility of global warming due to greenhouse gasses. But climate science was much less developed 50 years ago (A-DUUUUUUH!), most of the relevant data was still to be collected, so it wasn't clear which of the ecological problems caused by growing industrial pollution were going to be the most damaging half a century later. And over those 50 years we solved some of the problems, like improved filters on industrial chimneys, therefore making "global cooling" a thing of the past.
The same industrial emissions would also cause acid rains - but I'll bet you don't believe in those either, because you don't hear about them anymore, huh? And you probably think polio is a myth, because vaccines work so well...
Science and technology make progress and solve problems - that doesn't mean we won't have new problems to overcome. And stupid people like you only stand in the way, because you only care about your own convenience.
You're an imbecile and a dangerous one. I hope your children and your grand-children will adequately thank you one day. I hope they put you in a home, right on the coast somewhere. In a basement...
