NBC News report from Earth Day 1970

watch to the end, mentions warming and melting ice caps.

Show your Uncle Dittohead or Aunt Teabag next time you hear the "In the 70s, everyone said there'd be an ice age" crock.

… It's all been reduced to a news blip, much like the assassination of JFK commemoration.

Poor, Poor, Pitiful Earth. She won't go away, but her inhabitants are going to change a bunch, all because we don't pay attention to history.

Thanks for those memories. I was a junior in high school and the world was gonna be forever for me...
