I cancelled my then-lifetime subscription to National Geographic back around 1998 when one issue featured a global warming narrative in four of five articles.

That was enough for me.

I canceled about the same time you did - and for the same reason. A shame, because National Geographic was my real school growing up. I devoured every issue, and I owe much of my general knowledge of the world to the pre-1990’s version of the magazine. Kids today don’t have such alternatives to turn to.

I cancelled them in the early 1970s when I saw a trend where they were moving from science and geography into social issues. They stopped informing and began indoctrinating.

We had a special price when our kids were in grade school, and we continued subscribing for a decade plus.

It got more liberal on a monthly basis, and one of our then adult sons advised us to cancel it. So, we cancelled about when you did.

I waited another 10 years.....when the monkey boy picture graced the cover that was enough. ALso, the climate narrative was woven into every single article. Sad how my favorite childhood magazine is now worth less than charmin
