<div>Those of you who were around back then, do you remember
discussion of global warming in the very early 70s? I do, and I
wondered if I halucinated it. I recall from those days there was
disagreement between experts whether the future would be hotter or
colder. It wasn't clear who was right, but the colder thing was a lot
scarier to me.</div>

<div>In retrospect we learn that Nixon was a big envionmental
guy. Rather, it shouldn't be big news: a bunch of environmental
legislation passed on his watch, the endangered species act, clean air
and clean water laws, etc. Check this:</div>

You didn't hallucinate. I also remember The Population Bomb and other
things guaranteed to scare children from everyone's favorite scientist,
Paul Ehrlich. That this creature is still a professor at one of the
most prestigious universities in the US greatly undermines my faith in
the potential of my species. <br>
