Very fascinating really, mostly religious mumbojumbo but he did make some points that are relevant till this day like

“**The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes.

Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism.**”

That’s for a reason they say “even a stopped clock is right twice a day”. The fact that it was that broken clock and that his words can be perceived as still relevant after more than 20 years hints that the world has not progressed. Despite technology we’re still facing the same problems, plus some more (eg. climate).
Climate was already known to become the future’s biggest problems for a long time back then. I read once that Al Gore campaigned in the 1980s with climate change as one of the action points. So no, it’s not a new problem.

I read once that Al Gore campaigned in the 1980s with climate change as one of the action points.

I was taught climate change in earth science in high school in 1982. The was no controversy. It was taught as an accepted fact and settled science, which it was.

It has been heart breaking to see basically the worst case predictions come true.

And it still is, too.

If you cannot walk outside the door wherever you are right now and see the evidence of climate change it’s only because you don’t know what to look for, cause it’s there.
