In the 1970s we were all going to die in the upcoming ice age. Then we were going to run out of petroleum. Manhattan was predicted to be under water by 2015. A Swedish teenage said we only have 12 more years on the planet.

I have more trust in the Magic Eight Ball. There’s even an iOS app for it!

All Previous Pandemics

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”
H.L. Mencken
I would add what passes for journalism today also.
