Report: Decades of Failed Eco-Pocalypse Predictions
Study captures more than 50 years of false claims from environmentalists
The apocalyptic claims of environmentalists have failed repeatedly for decades, but that has not stopped top Democrats from panicking, according to a new study.
…a copy of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's
2018 report on the effects of global warming…. The IPCC report "paints a far more dire picture of the immediate consequences of climate change than previously thought,"
according to the
New York Times. It has also served as the partial basis of dire predictions from leading liberal politicians. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.)
has predicted that the world will end in 12 years, and that Miami
will no longer exist if her Green New Deal is not passed. Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg has
even suggested people who eat hamburgers and use plastic straws are "part of the problem."
Such dire predictions, the new CEI report said, are nothing new. There is a long history of prominent politicians and scientists predicting imminent crises that never quite come to pass.
…stretches back to infamous Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich's prediction that, as of 1967, it was "already too late for the world to avoid a long period of famine," which he expected to come by 1975. Ehrlich would gain notoriety for similarly dire predictions in his 1968 book
The Population Bomb, and for subsequently
losing a bet on global scarcity to economist Julian Simon.
Air pollution has been another popular topic of alarm. A number of scientists, including a NASA expert and a whole panel convened at Brown University, predicted that "air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the next century," in the words of a 1970
Boston Globe report. Air pollution
has declined steadily for decades.
In the 1980s, scientists projected both epic floods, with the Maldives under water by the 2010s, and epic droughts, with regions going parched starting in the 1990s. None of these predictions came to pass.
More recent scientists are not immune. The CEI report cites Dr. David Viner, a climate researcher at the
University of East Anglia, who in 2000 predicted snowfall would soon become "a very rare and exciting event. … Children just aren't going to know what snow is." In 2008, one NASA scientist told Congress to expect all arctic ice to melt by 2018; that same year, Al Gore predicted it would vanish by 2013. As recently as 2014, the French foreign minister
claimed the planet had just "500 days" before climate catastrophe.
Environmentalists' apocalyptic predictions have failed for decades, but that has not stopped top Democrats from panicking, according to a new study.
