A small history of recent climate related to instilling fear:
1970th ice age forecast:
1980th ozone hole forecast:
since 1990th the so called "climate change", but "the markets are where the money is, politicians followed":
"climate protection" is a much more funny combination of words as it also does not explain what climate is aand what is to protect.
Maybe it will turn out as a myth as the ice age assumptions of the 70th:
"In October 1982, David told a global warming conference financed by Exxon: “Few people doubt that the world has entered an energy transition, away from dependence upon fossil fuels and toward some mix of renewable resources that will not pose problems of CO2 accumulation"
(and they didn't reduce their own emissions AFAIK since then)
IMO man made global warming is just a theory without fundamental evidence - as there are a lot of other factors ignored:
- photosynthesis
- solar winds
- deforestation
See also page 104 here for a better view of climate relations
As oxygen concentration drops while C02 concentration raises, this looks more like an effect of continuing deforestation reducing photosynthesis activities.
I'm still waiting for any effect on the C02 concentration of all the measures taken to reduce C02 emissions.
Maybe there is none -and it ends like the regeneration of the ozone hole by self-healing processes of the system which were not included in the original fear generating forecasts.
1970th ice age forecast:
What were climate scientists predicting in the 1970s?
<p>1970s ice age predictions were predominantly media based. The majority of peer reviewed research at the time predicted warming due to increasing CO2.</p>

1980th ozone hole forecast:

since 1990th the so called "climate change", but "the markets are where the money is, politicians followed":
Climate Change Became Politicized in the 1990s. It Didn't Have To Be That Way.
To understand why the world didn't act faster on climate change, we have to understand what changed in the 1990s

Climate myths: They predicted global cooling in the 1970s
In reality, a handful of scientific papers discussed the possibility of an ice age at some point in the future, prompting some pretty sensational media coverage

Sixty years of climate change warnings: the signs that were missed (and ignored)
The long read: The effects of ‘weird weather’ were already being felt in the 1960s, but scientists linking fossil fuels with climate change were dismissed as prophets of doom
