Hair spray and deodorant were suppose to make the ozone layer disappear. Then fry everybody on the planet. Acid rain was going to burn us alive. Anyway, that was my impression as a kid.
My point being that the left tends to exaggerate to control. If the lefties actually thought the world would end in 12 years due to greenhouse gas emissions, they would not be driving around in limos and flying private jets at their leisure. It's all bullshit. What a joke!
I'm all for pollution control and conservation, btw.
