I didn't say that the media said that. It was the general feeling that many people (myself included) had and that activists perpetuated at that time. Disaster was about 15-20 years away.
What I said about the media is that they talked about climate change a whole lot more back then compared to now. Beside the Iraq War it was one of the big topics that everyone was always talking about. Nowadays it seems more of a background issue.

- yupitsme123 1y agoWhere can I search for old news articles or evidence of public sentiment? In your memory what was the zeitgeist at the time? For most of my life it has been something like: we recently crossed some threshold, if we don't act now we'll cross this other one, disaster is 15-30 years out. Recent freak natural disaster is going to become a yearly thing.
