SOURCES AS SHOWN AND MYRON EBELL, STEVWEN MILLOY, TONY HELLER, PEAL CLIMATE SCIENCE:
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.
1. D-ire famine forecast by ’75—L.A.—the population of the US is already too big, that birth control may have to be accomplished by making it involuntary and by putting sterilizing agents into staple foods and drinking water. The world food supply will have to be tripled to feed the 6 or 7 billon people expected to be living in the year 2000. TODAYS POPULATION IS 7.7 BILLION. Source sale lake tribune, 11/17/1967, George Getze---in 1967 it was 3.5B
2. NYT, 8/10/1696—ROBERT REINHOLD—unless we are extremely lucky everybody will disappear in a—another ice age- cloud of blue steam in 20 years, by a catastrophic explosion fueled by limited food, population and contamination.
3. THE BOSTON GLOBE-(NYT)-4/16/1970—ICE AGE BY 2000----Scientist predicts a new ice age by 21 century, air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the third of the next century. The demands for cooling water will boil dry the entire flow of rivers and streams of continental US.
4. REDLANDS CA., THE DAILY REDLANDS FACTS-10/6/1970---1970 America subject to water rationing by 1974 and food rationing by 1980---the oceans will be as dead as Lake Erie in less than a decade. America will subject to water rationing by 1974 and food by 1980.—PAUL EHRLICH
5. NEW ICE AGE COMING: WASH POST 1971---VICTOR COHN---in the next 50 years the fine dust man constantly puts into the atmosphere by f****l f**l-burning could screen out so much sunlight that the average temperature could drop by six degrees. If sustained over several years—five to 10 he estimated—such a temperature decrease could be sufficient to trigger an ice age.
6. NOAA , 10/2015---BROWN UNIVERSITY, 12/3/1972—GEORGE KUKLA, the main conclusion of the meeting was that a global deterioration of climate, by other of magnitude larger than any hitherto experienced by civilized mankind, is a vary real possibility and indeed may be due very soon.
7. THE GUARIAN, 1/29/1974, ANTHONY TUCKER—space satellites show new ICE AGE coming fast---it happens that blocking anticyclones play an important role in the characteristics of weather in the northern hemisphere and account for some adverse changes in our own climate.
8. TIME, 6/24/1974—ANOTHER ICE AGE—telltale signs are everywhere from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest.
9. UPI, a scientist told congress Wednesday the earth appears to be on the verge of a period of great peril to life on this globe, because of threats to the ozone layer from modern technology. Bur no such “great peril to life” has been observed as the so-called ‘ozone hole’ remains.
10. TIME ARCHIVE, another ice age.
11. THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW, Stephen Schneider, in 1974 Schneider and Bryson tried to explain to a white house policy why conditions are likely to worsen. One of the most depressing anecodotes in the book is Schneider description of the deaf ear their warning received.
12. NYT BOOK REVIEW , 1/18/1976—Acid rain k**ls life in lakes---mountain lakes----Noblesville Ledger, Noblesville, IN, 4/9/1980---But 10 years later the US government program formed to study acids rain concluded:
13. AP, 9/6/1990---JOSEF HEBERT---ACID RAIN NO ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS, STUDY CONCLUDES
14. WALTER SULLIVAN—7/18/1976---International team of specialties finds no end in sight to 30-year cooling trend in northern hemisphere. According to NASA satellite data there is a sight warming trends since 1979. Nasa +.038 degrees c as of July 2019!
15. JAMES HANSEN FORECASTS INCREASE REGIONAL DROUGHT IN 1990’S---
16. LANSING STATE JOURNAL-12/12/1988---EDWARD STILES, if you liked last years record temperatures, you’re going to love the 1980’s, says James Hansen, the NASA scientist who during congressional hearings on the Midwestern drought, linked greenhouse warming to heat wave. Washington DC for instance would go from its current 35 days a year over 90 degrees to 85 days a year. The level of the ocean will rise anywhere from one to six feet.
17. THE MIAMI NEWS, 6/24/1988-JEFF NESMITH-more drought likely, wxpert tells senators—’88 on way to be the hottest ever as worl temperatures up sharply.
18. 12/15/2018-ARTIC SEA ICE EXTENT (AREA OF OCEAN WITH AT LEAST 15% SEA ICE)
19. 12/16/2018----ANTHONY WATTA---Ten years ago al Gore predicted the North polar ice cap would be GONE. Inconveniently, it’s still there!!!!! WOULD BE COMPLETELY ICE FREE IN 5 YEARS.
20. The Argus press, 6/24/2008—Seth Borenstein—NASA scientist we’re toast. Hansen echoing work by other scientists said that in five to 10 years the Artic will be free od sea ice in the summer.
21. THE GUARDIAN-US EDITION-2/21/2004-NOW THE PENTAGON TELLS BUSH: C*****E C****E WILL DESTROY US. Britain is plunged into a Siberian climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega droughts, famine and widespread r**ting will erupt across the world.
22. THE GUARDIAN, 12/23/2002---GEORGE MONBIOT—famine can only be avoided if the rich give up meat, fish and dairy.
23. DR. DAVID VINER, UNIV OF EAST ANGLIA—children just aren’t going to know what snow is!
24. THE INDEPENDENT, 9/12/2015—CHARLES ONIANS-snowfalls are now just a thing of the past---SNOW IS STARTING TO DISAPPEAR FROM OUR LIVES.
25. SALON.COM, 10/23/2001---The west side highway will be under water. Water in restaurants only on request.
26. AP, 1990—ENTIRE NATIONS WILL BE WIPED OFF THE WORLD DUE TO RISING SEA LEVELS.
We have a 10-year period. UNEP estimates it would cost the US at least $100 billon to protect its east coast alone. THE DIFFERENCE MAY SEEM SLIGHT, HE SAID BUT THE PLANET IS ONLY 9 DEGREES WARMER NOW THAN DURING THE 8000 YEAR ICE AGE THAT ENDED 10,000 YEARS AGO.
27. THE CANBERRA TIMES-, 9/26,1988-Male Maldives---sea levels is threatening to completely cover this Indian Ocean nation of 1196 small islands within the next 30 years according to authorities. Drinking water supplies predicted to dry up there by 1992.
28. INDEPENDENT, 10/20/2009, GORDON BROWN---we have fewer than fifty days to save our plant from catastrophe.
29. DOUGLAS STANGLIN, 12/14/2009-AL GORE, polar ice may disappear by summer 2014. 12/14/2008 HE PREDICTED 5 YEARS!!!
30. EARTH INSIGHT, 7/24/2103, NAFEEZ AHMED---ice free artic in two years heralds methane catastrophe-scientist, prof. Wadhams agrees.
31. EARTH INSIGHT, NAFEEZ AHMED, 12/9/1013—on going US department of energy backed research project led by a US Navy scientist predicts that the Artic could lose its summer ice cover as early as 2016, 84 years ahead of conventional model projections.
32. FRENCH FOREIGN MINISTER—JERYL BIER, 5/14/2014—John Kerry and the minister warned that we only have 500 days remained to avoid climate chaos.
33. PLANET STILL STANDING 500 DAYS AFTER FRENCH FOREIGN MINISTER AND KERRY WARNED OF CLIMATE CHAOS, JERYL BIER, 5/14/2014 AND 9/29/2015.

It is simply fear-mongering! Fear generates more of the same nonsense, as others join the pack of AGW Believers.

For many it is a religion. That is why real science and facts don't, won't, can't matter
