I'd heard of it in the mid 80s but honestly the buzz words then were around acid rain.
Here's the thing. I was an environmental program manager for a couple of years...you would not believe the tons of crap combustion engines, fossil fuels, and even digging put into the atmosphere. You can deny climate change all you want....no problem, Mr. Trump, but the number of deaths caused by these processes through other means, like cancer is undeniable.

@originnone many more people are killed by electricity/electrocution ever year, should we therefore ban it and regress to a pre industrial society?

@wildbill83 Of course not, but if there were an alternative to electricity that was safer and more economical, then we should. In my example, there are safer, more economical means of power generation than coal/oil (ie nuclear) and there are safer, more economical forms of transportation than cars....We shouldn't eliminate all of it, but a large part can be replaced. Other first world nations have been doing it for decades.

@originnone the dig at Orange was very gratuitous and unnecessary dude. Totally takes focus away from your point .

@AthrillatheHunt Sorry....I didn't mean it as a dig really. My point is that you can be a denier of climate change and still pursue the need for clean air....as Trump has said himself....
