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.

AOC added a prediction January 22,2019

Ocasio-Cortez: 'World will end in 12 years' if climate change not addressed“

“Her comments are in reference to a United Nations-backed climate report, published late last year, that determined the effects of climate change to be irreversible and unavoidable if carbon emissions are not reined in over the next 12 years.”


You would think these people would wise up after 50 years of failures concerning these predictions but they continue to listen to Chicken Little.
But then fear is easier to sell than truth I suppose. And it depends on the expertise in the crisis manufacturing segment that seems to be doing rather well these days.
