Nostalgic Amusement: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

[Kyle]

Thanks go to Tony Heller, who first collected many of these news clips and posted them on RealClimateScience.

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.

For your consideration ...

I wonder if anyone has used this thought process/experiment. During the ice age, sea, ocean, lake, river, water levels were so low, that water levels receded such that far more land mass was exposed than is now currently. Then, there would have been no Chesapeake Bay, no Potomac or Patuxent Rivers. Maryland would have been a solid contiguous land mass. Continental passages would have been extremely easy to travel as there was more land to explore. At the height of the recent glaciation, the Ice Age, the ice grew to more than 12,000 feet thick as sheets spread across Canada, Scandinavia, Russia and South America. Corresponding sea levels plunged more than 400 feet exposing land than that was previously under water.

As the ice age ended, all that stored water was released, in a very short time frame and filled up all the seas, oceans, lakes, rivers, once again, catching many of the inhabitants off guard. So for someone to say that sea levels will rise to destructive levels with what very little glacial ice, in the Arctic and Antarctic, remains, is being very dishonest. Since it has been proven, unequivocally, that there were civilizations that lived on those lands now situated under water. Think Atlantis. Pavlopetri, Greece. Thonis-Heracleion, Egypt. Dwarka, India. Yonaguni Jima, The Japanese Atlantis. The Submerged castle in Lake Van, Turkey. And many, many more. Were once thriving cultures during the ice age, until all that ice melted and filled those areas once again to the levels of what we now see.

What is occurring today, is the same thing as what happened with the Mayans. The Mayans understood the Heavens, the stars, planetary alignments, and could forecast certain celestial events, and, at the same time, keep that information for their people, to control them. It is the same thing that is currently happening today. Information is locked away while outright lying to the people, or giving misleading information, using fear against the ignorance people for the sole purpose of controlling us and to extract the wealth from the people.

And unfortunately, people still fall for the hype and lies.

One thing stands out to me. The individuals who make these predictions have an agenda.
That agenda almost always features a big financial boon to someone.

I have no doubt of climate change, and i don't deny that some of it is not going to be good.
I agree that we should do all we can to have clean air and not fill the atmosphere with pollutants.
(an almost impossible task when we have the worlds largest polluter that is doing nothing to clean their air and we are helping them pollute it by buying their products and sending out polluting industries to them.)
But anyone who believes we can change the way the earth has done for thousands of years, and stop the cyclical pattern or avoid having the sun inject itself into our climate is a damned fool. I give you John "traitor" Kerry and Al "scumbag" Gore as an example

Climate Change is the newest religion, Greta is their Priestess and the EV is their Golden Calf.
