The term ‘climate change’ didn’t exist 45 years ago (except perhaps in a few technical circles). You’re using current knowledge/terminology/perspective to comment on things that were not in the mindset of the general populace or politicians at the time. I know this as I was there.



The terms "inadvertent climate modification" and "global warming" were very much coming up around the late 80s.


Sure but global cooling was all of mass media which is essentially climate change. (the media of course got it wrong)
