1808: Bad Fad

Greenhouse Effect History, 1982 CBS Report

A 1982 CBS News report by Dan Rather is revisited, showing that the "greenhouse effect" and predictions of Florida being flooded have been part of the media narrative for over 40 years. The archival footage features scientists warning that burning coal and oil would lead to agricultural disruption and rising sea levels. The consistency of these warnings over four decades is used to question the urgency of modern climate "emergencies."
