A good video about the U.S.A.'s history of climate change news 30 + years ago

I have a good amount of Youtube channels I am subscribed to and I watch Youtube on a pretty regular basis. The last few weeks I have been going back through some of the channels I haven't watched in awhile and figured I would give this one channel - TDC - a look again. This one caught my eye and I think it is worth watching. Climate change has been a big issue and worry to me and I think it's of great importance but I also fear we lost very important time in the recent past. Let me know what you guys think!

There absolutely has been a shift to where news operations have finally started adding environmental reporters and working climate change angles into other news, because it's always been there but deliberately ignored and definitely not pulled together.

I think climate change is more of a long-term issue that requires more study and that we should deal with current issues like the wars going on in Israel and Ukraine. However, living in a hot area of the world (Central Texas), I wouldn't mind things like an artificially-dimmer sun in the summertime. I further think that climate change shouldn't be a political issue, much like human sexuality.

Agreed. I did try the video for a spell and my main encouragement was how the comments were civil and no one seemed to be foaming at the mouth or arguing crazily. That just might be a good sign.

I feel we were more on top of all this in the early nineties, since I vividly remember almost every single show having at least one episode completely dedicated to not screwing up the environment. I even had a Ninja Turtles book about it.
