When I was a kid in the 1970's in the United States, I remember a commercial about pollution in which there was an American Indian with a tear in his eye. Help me please, back in that day were they not saying that the world was going to freeze?

The world was not going to freeze. He was an Indian who was on his horse by the highway when some jerk threw out the trash from his car. Then they show the Indian with a tear in his eye. Sep 30 07, 6:16 AM

Please see questions #22504 and #28182 about this particular commercial. It was about pollution and didn't mention global warming or the earth freezing. http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question22504.html http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question28182.html Sep 30 07, 8:22 AM

For those who know not of what is being spoken of... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7OHG7tHrNM And by the way....In life, he was an Italian, not an Indian! "Iron Eyes Cody was born Espera DeCorti, the son of two first-generation immigrants from Italy. In 1924 he moved to California, changed his name - already shortened from "DeCorti" to "Corti" - to Cody, and started working as an actor, presenting himself as a Native American. He married an Indian woman, Bertha Parker, and together they adopted two Indian sons. Iron Eyes Cody lived and worked as an Indian for all his adult life; he labored for decades to promote Native American causes, and was honored by Hollywood's Native American community in 1995 for his efforts." http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002014/bio Sep 30 07, 9:35 AM
