It went ultra-Green in the early 90’s - the science disappeared, replaced by non-stop alarmism over “fossil fuels” and climate change. It’s unfortunate, because I credit 60’s-70’s era National Geographic with making me an educated person. It did for me and many other young people what the school systems had no hope of doing, which is probably they killed it.

I remember cutting up photos from old Nat Geo's for school projects - always got A's on them.

My family stopped subscribing around the mid-90s when it became insufferable lefty.

I’m probably older than you at age 84, and the late 50’s it was a big mag in our household.

Later in the 1970/80’s we subscribed to it for our sons.

Later, they nicknamed it as the bare boob magazine for old hippies. We didn’t renew our subscription, and that was about the time we let a lot of magazines lapse with no renewals.
