You need to look at the history of climate change in greater depth.

At the beginning of the 20th century the risks of emissions from coal was already being discussed in a short newspaper article ( July 1912). Margaret Thatcher had not even been born.

Around that time also; Svante Arrhenius, was calculating the impact of CO2 emissions on temperature.

Stephen Hawking, if he does not process the greatest mind of our time; he is not far off.

He states:

“A more immediate danger is runaway climate change,” Hawking said. “A rise in ocean temperature would melt the ice-caps, and cause a release of large amounts of carbon dioxide from the ocean floor. Both effects could make our climate like that of Venus, with a temperature of 250 degrees.”

Bloomberg uses graphs to show what is happening with climate.

Yuyutsu,

This video discussing AGW appears to pre-date Thatcher's Prime-Ministership by quite a few years:

But you just keep telling yourself it's all a hoax.

So Ant, in the 1970's The Whitlam Government had Australian scientists join in a movement that said we were heading to another Ice Age?
I can only suppose 99 per cent of scientists agreed with that too? All flying on first class expenses of course.
This is why I do not trust this nonsense.
Suggestion, read Eisenhowers famous speech about the "Military Industrial Complex". Right after he equally cautioned about research expenses leading to more and more research.
This is all fine until they want me to start paying them more than I have for this junk.

In the 70s there were more science papers published about global warming than about cooling.
Scientists working for ExxonMobil (1970s) were writing about the impact of greenhouse gases creating an increase in temperature.

This is what happens in a warming atmosphere:

Texas is being hit hard by rain bombs in 2016. Here is a reference showing the devastation being caused in France and Germany recently by rain bombs, note the last photo:

Here we go again wasting more time & electricity on the wrong problem.
The Global Energy Group at Upsalla Uni showed that the IPCC models
use too high a figure for AVAILABLE oil & coal.

It does not matter whether CO2's global warming is true or not.
We cannot afford to burn enough of the coal & oil to do it.
Likewise we cannot afford to build a fleet of nuclear power stations.
Look at the financial difficulty the UK is having to build just ONE more.

It is doubtful that we can afford to build enough solar & wind farms
to generate a 24/7/7/overcast days amount of power in one sunny day !
Nuclear power might well be cheaper, especially thorium.
