An interesting theory

A recent article theorizes that if we were to live a 1970's lifestyle we could reduce our carbon emissions and thus improve our environment. We're not sure how acting like Erik Estrada on CHiPs or Robin Williams on Mork and Mindy would help, but perhaps they're talking about other aspects of the lifestyle. Disco music may reduce carbon emissions, but muscle cars probably offset that. Perhaps the whole theory revolves around the fact that most science fiction at the time envisioned not a future tropical paradise in Alaska, but a frozen wasteland in Africa.
