In a conference from 1959 called the “Energy and Man” symposium, held at Columbia University in New York was a speech from a famous scientist, Edward Teller (who helped invent the hydrogen bomb), warning the industry executives and others assembled of global warming.<p>“Whenever you burn conventional fuel,” Teller explained, “you create carbon dioxide. … Its presence in the atmosphere causes a greenhouse effect.” If the world kept using fossil fuels, the ice caps would begin to melt, raising sea levels. Eventually, “all the coastal cities would be covered,” he warned.
1959!
Who will think of the poor, beleaguered oil execs, crying themselves to sleep on mountains of cash?<p>Fuck those clowns, and fuck pathetic lickspittles like Mr. Donalds here.
