Who started the global warming scare?
I think James Hansen and Al Gore (whom I doubt has any concern about global warming whatsoever) were the ones who really took the alarmism mainstream. Was there anyone before them?

(I'm talking about liars and frauds like Hansen and Gore using scare tactics to get people to believe in the CAGW religion)
@Scott Neagle... Again, I'm not talking about climate scientists like Svante Arrhenius who theorized that CO2 would cause increasing temperatures, I'm talking about frauds like Hansen and Gore who started using scare tactics to get people to believe in the CAGW hoax.
@Climate"Realist"... "And yet you pose another question which denies that anyone ever thought of global warming before James Hansen and Al Gore."
Can you point out where I made that claim? It might be hard since I never did.
Please reread slowly. Maybe sounding out the big words might help you.

Christ. Were you and Doofus in the same remedial English class?
@Climate"Realist"... So when I challenge you to point out where I had made such a claim you edit what I had said and pretend you are quoting me?

Wow. An alarmist making stuff up. That's... (sarcasm) SHOCKING (/sarcasm).

I wouldn't call global warming "alarmism." The greenhouse effect was first discussed publicly by mathematician Joseph Fourier in 1824. In 1917 inventor Alexander Graham Bell warned that unregulated burning of fossil fuels would cause global warming. In 1988 meteorologist Bert Bolin became the first chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, becoming one of the first to aggressively encourage governments to address the crisis.

Are you the same Ian who posted a question about Svante Arrhenius?
<Although his climate sensitivity calculation was way too high, he actually thought it would be a good thing.>
Or was it you evil twin? And yet you pose another question which denies that anyone ever thought of global warming before James Hansen and Al Gore.
<@Climate"Realist"... "And yet you pose another question which denies that anyone ever thought of global warming before James Hansen and Al Gore."
<Can you point out where I made that claim? It might be hard since I never did.>
So, what are you saying?

Al Gore is just a messenger. And James Hansen continued the work which was begun by Fourier, Tyndall and Arrhenius.

If you would like to get info on climate change other than from Hansen and Gore, go to National Aeronautics and Space Administration site and read the evidence.

Sounds like Their starting to get to you Ian.
To preserve your sanity it may be best to consider the bizarre characters on this site as eager participants in an interactive Monty Python skit.
The 2 radical climate change activists you named have been publicly(& correctly) referred to as "catastrophic climate change parasites".
Since billy zionist Rothschild seems to be regrettably absent tonight I would like to point out That the initials for catastrophic climate change parasites are CCCP & thats no accident, comrade.

Margaret Thatcher did during a labor issue with coal minors. Thatcher was attempting the use the coal minor's strike to promote nuclear energy by claiming that fossil fuels may lead to global warming.
Need you be reminded that the decades before then we were being told that global cooling was the greatest ecological threat to humanity. But as l******s usually do they hijacked the narrative as a mean to push their anti human agenda.

Scientists report the science in papers. Whether we're 'scared' or 'alarmed' by those reports is up to the public.

Here is an example from around 1950.
But when you are referring to Main Stream exclusively, you may have a point there. But also add to that Paul Ehrlich who was a widely publicized calamity howler.
