    By “the 50s,” do you mean the 1850s, when Eunice Newton Foote discovered the greenhouse effect, and calculated that CO2 emissions would change the climate? And when John Tyndall published the same thing, because the scientific community ignored her because she was a woman? Yeah, we could have started 170 years ago, but people just aren’t wise enough to do anything about climate change until it’s too late.

      Yeah I am only aware of research from the 1950s and 60s but I don’t doubt it is based on a previous hundred years of research

          Even now when climate change has visible effects, we can’t seem to get our shit together and do what we need to for our own sakes
