We have only days, err weeks err months to save the planet from umm global umm

Remember that? Everyone claiming we had a seriously short period of time to "save" the earth from CO2 induced global warming, and then the tipping point would be reached and no amount of wealth distribution would save us from certain doom.

Except it was all bullshit, and they knew it. 

The bitter winter afflicting much of the Northern Hemisphere is only the start of a global trend towards cooler weather that is likely to last for 20 or 30 years, say some of the world’s most eminent climate scientists.

Does it seem like they're making it up as they go?
