The climate doom-mongers at The New York Times must now face the reality that their decades-old eco-Armageddon predictions were flat out wrong.
The Times screeched in a 1995 story how “some of the predicted effects of climate change may now be emerging for the first time or with increasing clarity.” One of the predictions included a “[a] continuing rise in average global sea level, which is likely to amount to more than a foot and a half by the year 2100.” The Times then cautioned that an apocalypse for beach-goers would be a likely result: “At the most likely rate of rise, some experts say, most of the beaches on the East Coast of the United States would be gone in 25 years.”
Twenty-five years from 1995 would mean the beaches would be gone by 2020. Newsflash: The East Coast beaches are still intact. U.S. News & World Report even ran a report in May 2020 headlined: “16 Top East Coast Beaches to Visit.”

The Media is always wrong about this stuff but somehow no one seems to remember. Acid rain was supposed to have wiped us out by now.
What do you call an expert whose predictions fail to materialize? Why should you continue to take them seriously?
The oceans should have dried up by now according to Ted Danson....................
A Democrat politician.....................
They will attempt to vindicate themselves by pointing out that it is hot at the end of June. Who would have guessed that??
When FakeNews meets FakeScience...
Same idiots that told me in 1990 in college with a straight face that the planet would “be OUT of OIL by 2010”. I knew it was horeses-—t then. They never grasped the economic difference between “proven”, “known”, and “theoretical” reserves. Prices take care of “known” and better technology (frakking, hemispherical drilling, etc.) turns a lot of theoretical into prove or known. I have not listened to dumb ass environmentalists or paid attention to their linear math dumb ass models either since then.
Being an expert means never having to say “I’m sorry.”
As long as it had the desired effect at the time, they don’t give a rip if it played out.
We haven’t lost any beaches.
Agriculture has not shifted.
The UK doesn’t have a thriving wine industry, Maine isn’t growing citrus, and Arizona isn’t covered by wheat.
No climate change.
They can talk about temperature concerns, but the climate is unchanged.
And after acid rain it was the deterioration of the ozone layer. Glad I’m not the only one that remembers acid rain.
These blasphemous would-be demigods have no concept of how vast and massive our planet really is. The oceans, the atmosphere, the land area are huge beyond the average human's comprehension. Cheapest and quickest cram course would be for them to buy a window seat on the next transcontinental flight.
We has humans have zero control and zero ability to significantly change the way our planet operates on its own.
As long as there are oceans there will be beaches.
Here’s another one to add to your list. I wish I had your computer skills.
Leftists don’t care that they lie.
All completely unaffected, in fact. But climate change is a religion where lack of evidence = proof that it's even worse than we thought.
Barack Obama stopped the rise, don’t cha know?!
How did we survive red dye #2?!
