Without googling I'm going to say Increasing and Increasing, i.e. bad. However, as I said we'd never heard of 'Global Warming' in the 1970s so wondering why the young of that era never protested about it is incredibly unfair. (Neither had we heard of CFCs destroying the ozone layer). We could...

I really have to disagree with point c. We (if I include myself as a Boomer for the sake of argument) were really concerned. We used to have earnest discussions about the 'ecosphere' (as we used to call the overall environment), we were worried about intensive farming and the use of pesticides...
