Tbf as a kid during the 90s I was worried about acid rain and the ozone hole.

These problems were solved or at least alleviated by global scale environmental action. The horrendously dirty heavy industry of the Eastern block collapsing did help, of course. There were no large scale disinformation campaigns trying to convince people that sulphur dioxide is good for you.
