we grew up in a very different 80’s then. Don’t recall the masters of the universe or gi joe ending clip talking about it. Me thinks your childhood was more 90’s and maybe late nineties and mine was more early 80’s
Cobra steals an experimental nitrogen rocket fuel. But before the Joes can capture the Crimson Guard in possession of the fuel, he hides it in a greenhouse, where the volatile mixture mutates everything into gigantic man-killing plants.
Batman and the Junior Super Friends head to the World Weather Center after Colonel Wilcox informs Batman to find out what is causing the wild weather changes and stop it. They find out a tall, bald, thin man with glasses named Dr. Thinkquick, who is from a continent called Glacia up near the North Pole, is shifting the Gulf Stream with a jet nozzle from his tugboat at sea, as well as a remote control device to warm the climate at his dreadfully cold country, without taking into consideration to what will happen to Florida and the rest of the world.
S02E07 “Too Hot to Handle”
With temperatures rising all over the Earth, Colonel Wilcox informs the Super Friends that the rise in temperature is more than a mere heat wave. The top scientists have been working around the clock and found out the Earth is drifting from its own orbit to the Sun. Superman goes to India and seeks the help of fellow Justice League of America member, the Flash, who was saving the Taj Mahal from an earthquake. The Flash uses his super speed to put the Earth back into its own orbit by reversing the magnetic poles of the Earth. The Junior Super Friends notice a strange man who is dressed in heavy winter clothes. They chase after the strangely dressed man and follow him to his hideout inside an active volcano on a Pacific island called Malibah. They learn that the man’s name is Kolbar and he comes from the planet Solar Terrarium, where he and his people needed a constant temperature of 140 degrees to live comfortably. Kolbar was trying to find another planet for his people to live on when their planet cooled off to a bone-chilling 85 degrees because of pollution. Superman, Aquaman, the Flash, and the junior members journey to Solar Terrarium to clean up the planet. Afterwards, the planet’s leader apologizes for their mistake and promises to use their resources more wisely.
I’m sorry. I’m not able to cut out a portion of my brain to understand how you’re missing this.
There was a TON of media geared towards kids in the 1980s that educated us about global warming, environmentalism, the health of the air, sea, and land, pollution, toxicity, nuclear radiation, deforestation, threats of animal extinction, etc. Off the top of my head, GI Joe and Super Friends and Captain Planet in particular were overwhelming with this sort of education (pretty sure Transformers and M.a.s.k. were too).
I don’t know how anyone growing up between 1970 and 2000 could have missed this. If you don’t recall, that’s totally fine. But you can’t argue that it didn’t exist when I’m showing you evidence to the contrary.
environmentalism yes. Global warming no. As I stated at the start of the 90’s it was the rare person who knew about and grasped co2 concentrations and global warming effects but by the end it would not take a whole lot of effort to know about it. There is a reason an inconvenient truth was a thing in 2006. It was still not that widespread in the early 2000’s. Thats why he was doing those talks that got captured in the movie. One of my things about global warming is many folks seem to see it as something that if we can solve would take the threat away but of course that would not alleviate any of the other environmental damage we are doing.

Ok. We’re evidently not from the same region and/or generation. The experience around me was starkly the opposite.
