Maybe some of you internet whizbangs can dig up news telecasts from the 70’s telling us the planet was going to be a ball of ice by now.

In the 1970s, it was supposed to be a ball of superhot plasma by now.

'Peak oil' and 'Acid rain' was the catch cry i remember as a kid from the 70's.

Yep, no oil by 1999.

Acid rain was solved by the addition of expensive, but effective scrubbing systems to fossil generators. Science saves the day.

We were getting pearl-clutching ice caps melting because it was so hot.

It didn't happen because they got rid of paper bags and went to plastic.

And now we are back to paper bags and phasing out plastic bags bigot!

Maybe we'll get plastic straws back made from the bags.
