50 Years of Failed Eco-Pocalyptic Predictions.
Sep 21^st, 2019 at 4:14pm

Its high time the Fake News Media and Fake Lying Scientist were held to account Angry

Quote:

SUMMARY

Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today.

None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true.

What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and science.

More than merely spotlighting the failed predictions, this collection shows that the makers of failed apocalyptic predictions often are individuals holding respected positions in government and science.

While such predictions have been and continue to be enthusiastically reported by a media eager for sensational headlines, the failures are typically not revisited.

1967: ‘Dire famine by 1975.’

1969: ‘Everyone will disappear in a cloud of blue steam by 1989.’

1970: Ice age by 2000

1970: ‘America subject to water rationing by 1974 and food rationing by 1980.’

Quote:

1971: ‘New Ice Age Coming’

1972: New ice age by 2070

1974: ‘New Ice Age Coming Fast

1974: ‘Another Ice Age?’

1974: Ozone Depletion a ‘Great Peril to Life’

1980: ‘Acid Rain Kills Life in Lakes’

But 10 years later, the US government program formed to study acid rain concluded:

1978: ‘No End in Sight’ to 30-Year Cooling Trend

But according to NASA satellite data there is a slight warming trend since 1979

1988: James Hansen forecasts increase regional drought in 1990s

But the last really dry year in the Midwest was 1988, and recent years have been record wet.

1988: Washington DC days over 90F to from 35 to 85

ButthenumberofhotdaysintheDCareapeakedin1911,andhavebeendecliningeversince.

1988: Maldives completely under water in 30 years

1989: Rising seas to ‘obliterate’ nations by 2000

1989: New York City’s West Side Highway underwater by 2019

1995 to Present: Climate Model Failure

2000: ‘Children won’t know what snow is.’

and the list goes on and on.

STOP LYING PLEASE Angry

Reply #4 - Oct 11^th, 2019 at 3:22am An astounding display of cherry-picking. 50 years of successful environmental protection laws in the USA that Trump is attempting to undo. There were rivers and lakes in America that were actually flammable it was so bad.

I don't follow you. What are "new reviews?" You mean proof that America was once more polluted in many areas than it is now? Yes, there is plenty of proof of that. Are you retarded?
