We really are. Diane Simmons you absolute bell end.
Anyone has a Delorean on hand? I’d need to go back to 1955 and steal a book
Best I can do is a restored DeLorean that maxes out at 87
Deal! I’ll warn everyone about the climate crisis and we will have changed the world being warned early and the world will be saved by learning in the 80’s of the danger ahead!
Fast forward 2025…
I know this was a joke, but I was kinda wondering when we first started talking about Climate Change as an issue.
It looks like some guy in Sweden named ‘Svante Arrhenius’ was the first to really get everything properly worked out and documented back in 1896, but the first time it really started to go mainstream seems like it was with ‘economist William Nordhaus’ back in 1975 just feeling like it might be starting to become a real problem.

Depends on what you mean by ‘we’.
Exxon knew about it in the 70s and is said to have predicted the results with “shocking” accuracy.
He didn’t even need to do that. The complete removal of accountability for anyone wealthy over the last half-century along with subversion of all major media did everything for him. He just had to be born wealthy and racist, and refuse to pay people that he signed contracts with. He should have been a pauper decades ago but all institutions that could or would do so have been defanged.
If I remember correctly they based that version of biff on trump. Kinda scary how close they got
That’s because Trump has been consistent and never changed as a person to those paying attention.
Yes, Bob Gale confirmed that he based the character on Trump. The over-the-top aesthetic of Biff’s Pleasure Paradise Casino & Hotel in the alternate 1985 was specifically inspired by Trump’s signature style of the 1980s. The gold-heavy decoration, the massive portraits of himself, and even the architectural style were meant to parody Trump.
Gale also wrote a BttF comic book in 2017 where Biff runs for president.
I find it thoroughly amusing that Trump must be aware of this and hasn’t changed character.
Yea, and musk said he likes cyberpunk… and conservatives play rage against the machine…
