The 1972 UNEP First Earth Summit seems a lot more like the start of a global discussion about global warming.

It marks the start of concerted white anting of the message and Koch et al funded think tanks to antiprop the fossil fuels are bad message.

An Inconvenient Truth was more the start of some limited central north american awareness starring some local politician or something.

global warming is actually peanuts compared to worries of previous generations, like the cold war, school kids got instructions on what to do if an atomic bomb would fall on city!

stress and worries are from all times

* It still needs to be dealt with,

* the dangers are very real,

* unlike the risk of Cold War, doing nothing does not lead to the best outcome.

Forget about the stress, focus on the reality and mitigation.
