Actually, it was determined a few months ago political memes are allowed here. It's when certain people get triggered and start whining in the other thread that kept getting it into "trouble".

No sh*t! I'm still PO'd because my DH literally didn't get any time off of work until the day Dorian was closest to our home. And then, it was back to work the next day. ">

I was still in school for the first few of those. 1970s Ice Age - Everyone's favourite science teacher at DPT pointed out that the media had picked up on one report that showed a cooling trend and that he would let us know if further study backed up the claim. It didn't. Hardly the scientists' fault that News Week or whoever went with dramatic covers. 1980s Acid Rain - Was an actual problem causing real damage to real buildings. Didn't happen as announced in the media because Governments enacted regulations that changed companies' practices. In some instances, companies only increased the length of their smoke stacks so the pollution traveled outside their local area. In more instances, they put in filtration systems to capture a greater percentage of the pollution. "Over reaction" lead to actual solutions. That's why my city doesn't "smell of money" every morning any more. 1990s Ozone Holes - Were a real cause of concern. Governments enacted regulations limiting/banning use of CFCs. Companies changed their products and came up other solutions. Ozone Holes became less of a concern because of changes in human behaviour. To say there was never a problem because the problem was fixed before it got worse is just stupid.

I would like to make about a dozen copies of this and paste it on a few coworkers' (past and present) desks.
