@iamnotjohnnytarrthankyou It’s quaint how they assumed consumption and population wouldn’t exponentially increase over that time.

Coal industry journal in 1966:

"temperature of the earth's atmosphere will increase and vast changes in the climates of the earth will result. Such changes in temperature will cause melting of the polar icecaps, which, in turn, would result in the inundation of many coastal cities, including New York and London."

Mining Congress Journal 1966-04: Vol 52 Issue 8, August 1966, Page 55.
