      yeah though I can say even in the 80’s and 90’s it was more around pollution and poisoning of the air, water, earth. I was fairly into it and did not remember any talk around global warming really.

        Not the same thing . Environmentalism is different from an awareness of climate change, and prior to the late 1980s and 90s the average person’s main concern with industrial emissions were toxic vapors and particulates, not CO2, since these have much more immediately apparent impacts on health and safety.
