“A Dutch journalist has uncovered Royal Dutch Shell documents as old as 1988 that showed the oil company understood the gravity of climate change, the company’s large contribution to it and how hard it would be to stop it.
The 1988 report titled “The Greenhouse Effect” calculated that the Shell group alone was contributing 4 percent of global carbon-dioxide emissions through its oil, natural gas and coal products. “By the time global warming becomes detectable it could be too late to take effective countermeasures to reduce the effects or even to stabilize the situation,” the report warned."
But remember, the science is still inconclusive about cigarettes causing cancer!
According to the British Antarctic Survey, Antarctica’s temperatures have risen by 2.8°C (5°F) over the past 50 years, considerably faster than the planet as a whole. (2015)
I come here for the yuks,….. not politics. Squirrels’ arms are not long enough to make them effective tree-huggers. Keep the politics to the editorial pages, … please.
