The seminal paper on catastrophic global warming was published in Science in May 1967, five months before my birth. Since then Western capitalism has expanded more and is releasing more greenhouse gases by metric ton into the atmosphere.
Um, actually scientists as early as the 1890s calculated approximately how much pollution we collectively release into the atmosphere globally every year. Even back that far some scientists were warning that increasing that pollution at a higher rate each year, and our planet is not keeping pace with it's ability to absorb it would cause lasting if not irreversible damage.
You’re both right.
