Yeah, the 1930's says HOLD MY THERMOMETER.
Opioids have been used and abused in this country since before it's founding. Did modern drug companies exacerbate the problem, yep, but they didn't create it.

When Obama was President, I asked on this forum this question----------------> what is the actual temperature Mother Nature would make the planet if no mammal life was here? Would it be higher, lower, or about the same? How does anyone know we are even attempting to move things in the correct direction? What affect do solar events have upon our climate? Now that we have space vehicles visiting nearby planets with robotics installed for longer term visits, how has the temperature changed over the time they can compute with the sensors they have to check? If it is close to our changes, then the whole human thing just falls apart!
The point is------------->they have much of this data, especially from planet visitations, and yet they don't show us. Why not? Wouldn't it help to make their case? Or maybe, it might blow their case right out of the water!
Call up a climate chart just for the heck of it for this century, and remember, these are posted by the climate heroes. Look at the temperatures from 1940 through 60. Now I know all of you are intelligent, so what happened from the late 30s through 45? WAR! Industry ramped up everywhere, tanks burning converted coal in Europe, fires all over the place, thousands of planes in the air, nuclear test firings, some even in the oceans through 1955 or so. Burning structures almost every place, especially in Europe, almost all made out of wood. Fire bombings in Europe, especially Dresden and other German cities. Oil depots being blown up, and set ablaze.
Now, look at the chart you called up-) Seems with all the burning and looting, nuclear experiments etc, the temperature started DROPPING! Yes, it started dropping in 1940, and never returned to that level again until almost 1980. HOW CAN THAT BE???????? If we take these people at their word, (which we don't) surely all of that manufacturing activity and war had to have a terrible effect on the climate where it would have taken far less than 40 yrs to show an effect that surpassed the mean of when the war, manufacturing ramp up, etc started.
Finally, if you DO decide to take these people at their word, go back again and look at the chart. Look at the spike at the very end of the chart upwards, and notice when this happened. Now, if you want to blame human activity as they want us to, then who/whom is actually to blame for this large spike? Looking at the chart are you?
Do you remember a certain country getting favored nation status and ramping up coal fired power plants to produce once they got that designation? In fact, this same country is firing up new coal fired power plants constantly. So yes, if you want to point to human activity, the culprit would have to be CHINA, along with India coming online at the same time, and they are using COAL FIRED PLANTS almost exclusively.
And who/whom gave China favored Nation Status to start this, if you believe that is actually the cause? Why William, Jefferson, Clinton of course, and his brilliant VP Al, the superstar Gore! In essence, if we take these people at their word, the DEMOCRATS have caused this huge spike by their policy, and now want us to pay the price for their incompetence, and their inability to control Chinas use of coal to fire their industry. Funny thing is------->they want to give this nation and a few others, special status where they don't have to address the issue for years.
Now then, the USA's population has been relatively stable for some time, except for the influx of illegal aliens, but that is another subject. We have cleaned our air, our water, went to no lead gasoline, have the most stringent rules on diesel fuel in the world as far as carbon, forced our manufacturers to refit their smoke stacks with special gizmos at tremendous cost already, and yet YOU are the problem in this country, and YOU have to fix it because China etc will not! Aren't we special-)
In essence, look at which countries populations are exploding, and it isn't ours. We have lowered our pollution count across the board since the 60s. And yet, it is on you?!?!?!?!?! I believe the same goes for Canada. Are we that dumb? All you need do is look at when China had the Olympics before the pandemic to see them walking around in masks because of the pollution in Beijing. Doesn't that make you wonder why they are on you, when we could just shut our whole country down, period......and if China continues to ramp up, shorty it would again surpass total world output in all the bad stuff they claim they want to get rid of. I think you should ask our eco friends about that, but then again, you would be asking them questions for which they have no answers, unless of course they were honest saying that if they put pressure on China, Xi might have them exterminated or put in a gulag, and they know we won't!
