Nobody prior to the two World Wars could have reasonably predicted the rate of increase in industrial production worldwide that those wars stimulated.Interesting only because it was so naive about how much this would accelerate.The last line was interesting" centuries "Discussion regarding the impact of carbon in the atmosphere causing problems dates back to the 19th century. And the last 50 years has shown the Earth has warmed. And the weather is getting different. And the climate has modified.
But it's all a cult, because disputing data is harder.
With 1912 levels of fossil fuel use, we would still be centuries away from the current atmospheric carbon dioxide level.
Motorised transport and aeroplanes were both toys for rich kids in 1912; As was domestic electricity.
