Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

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
...
1980: ‘Acid Rain Kills Life in Lakes’
...
1978: ‘No End in Sight’ to 30-Year Cooling Trend
...
1988: James Hansen forecasts increase regional drought in 1990s
...
1988: Maldives completely under water in 30 years
...
1989: New York City’s West Side Highway underwater by 2019

Anyone who wonders why so many people take Global Worming less than seriously should just look over all these documented Chicken-Little-isms.

Yeah, the OP article reminds me of Instapundit Glenn Reynolds' standard response to something similar: You're going to need a bigger blog!
