Top 10 Catastrophic Climate Predictions That Failed
It's been almost six years since the delinquent child activist Greta Thunberg promoted a so-called scientist's warning that "climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels" by 2023. The scientist in question, Harvard University professor James Anderson, also predicted "there will be no floating ice remaining" in the Arctic Ocean by 2022 absent a "Marshall Plan-style endeavor in which all of the world takes extreme measures to to transition off of fossil fuels completely within the next five years." That didn't happen, but climate activists are still warning that the Arctic could be ice-free at some point between 2035 and 2067.

Not surprisingly, there is a long history—dating back to the 1970s—of so-called climate scientists and government bureaucrats making catastrophic predictions about the environment that never materialized. Here are 10 of the most egregious examples. Enjoy!

1) In 1970, S. Dillon Ripley, a wildlife conservationist who served as secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, warned that 75 percent to 80 percent of species would be extinct by 1995. Wrong.

2) In 1970, Kenneth Watt, an ecologist and professor at the University of California, Davis, warned that "there won't be any more crude oil," that "none of our land will be usable" for agriculture, and the world would be 11 degrees colder by the year 2000. False."

When I was a kid, the Left tried to scare the people with claims of a Big Freeze. That never came, so they switched gears to Global Warming. Their predictions of calamity never happened, so they switched to "Climate Change" so they can blame any weather event on capitalism- but only Western Capitalism. They aren't protesting Chinese and Indian dirty
energy usage as if really were "killing the planet". If the Left really thought that fossil fuels were "killing the planet", they would
be demanding that we stopped China and India from dumping so much carbon into the atmosphere. The truth is that the Left's climate fear mongering is about control over industry- the means of production. Ring a bell? A progressive is like a watermelon- green on the outside and red to the core.

Conservatives who proclaimed climate change is just a myth and that we should do nothing about it.

Conservative strategy on Climate Change…

1. Deny Climate Change exists

2. Admit that the climate is changing but that man has nothing to do with it

3. Admit that man is affecting the climate but it is too late to do anything about it.

The myth is that it is an eminent threat, that it hasn’t happened before humans even existed and that we can do something to stop it. There is money to be had by causing hysteria among lemmings that can’t think for themselves and so it will continue for decades to come or until the masses wise up.

That's a fact. It is all about control and profit.

1. Deny Climate Change exists

It has always existed.

2. Admit that the climate is changing but that man has nothing to do with it

Nothing significant.

3. Admit that man is affecting the climate but it is too late to do anything about it.

We never could do anything about it. The Ice Age occurred and humans didn’t cause it nor could they have stopped it.

Global cooling is very dangerous. It means drought and famine. It probably led to the collapse of Bronze Age Civilization.

Climate Change is the biggest scam foisted upon the people of the world since religion.

While it's true that cleaning-up our air and waters was something well worth doing (both the silent and greatest generation was trying to kill us all) once that was accomplished the realization of the grift available to kick it up to the next level (climate change) was too good to pass up.

A giant green grift.

Since China and India and other nations are doing little to help the cause, it makes no difference. Since the next extermination of the planet is 2030, we see no concern from other governments as all of the changes proposed would be forced on the whole planet for survival. Conquering nature and working with it would be a prudent answer.

The world has to kick the Marxist crisis merchants to the ash bin of history to SAVE THE PLANET.

So, China and India are "killing the planet"?

Dare I summarize the "Conservative" position on "climate change"?

1. The climate is changing. As it always does. The planet may even be getting warmer. So what?
2. Nothing done in the United States will have any measurable impact on the climate in a hundred years.
3. Any problems related to climate change will be resolved in real time by technological solutions. See New Orleans.
4. "Net Zero" is bullshit, and the attempts to pursue it are destroying the economies of Western Europe, especially Germany, where electricity costs four times what it does here.
5. Renewable energy is largely bullshit. It MUST be supplemented by a reliable base source of energy. The sun don't always shine and the wind don't always blow. And there are no batteries that can store the surplus for times when it is needed.
6. Natural gas is the solution to basically everything. The U.S. is the "Saudi Arabia" of natural gas. Thank God for "fracking."
7. China and India don't give a fuck about climate change. They are EACH building an average of two (2) coal-fired power plants EVERY MONTH, at the same time as they are touting their new hydro plants and such. See the first sentence again.
8. The political Left, which has collectively never had a real job in its figurative life, wishes to pursue Net Zero because they are technological idiots, and because it is harmful to people's lives, especially poor people.

I have spoken.

You can’t kill the planet
There is nothing man can do to hurt the planet.

The Earth is one tough son of a bitch piece of rock. It will be here regardless of what we do

We may not

Don, the Left/Marxists just keep regurgitating the same story, just moving the timeline to keep it relevant. Just look how Gretta and Gore were celebrated as visionary's. Have you heard of one newspaper/science publication proclaim that every timeline that they projected so far has failed miserably?

By the way---------->know how you 100%, absolutely, positively, know that the Democrats are in total collapse? They are now actually LOSING the climate debate, along with Trump just yanking a fortune from Columbia for anti-sematic behavior. Those 2 things alone tell you their power base is in full retreat! Not to mention, they REMOVED a VISA from a foreign student who took part in it.

You have got to love the fact that every day, the Left is getting spanked, and spanked severely-)

So, the Leftists are just lying, when they say that we are "killing the planet".
You know, there is one thing that you can trust about the Left- that they are lying.

The earth does not care about its climate or how clean it is.

Man does
