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.”

I’m still waiting for the coming ice age they predicted in the 70’s.
Then the DDT scare, no more Bald Eagles. Now I see many on a daily basis.
And that we were all going to freeze forever in the 1970's. LOL
I guess we should be glad they saved us by banning the McDLT. LOL
“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.”
We were all supposed to be frozen to death before that.
As if Sandy was a Hurricane that hit NJ.
It was a tropical depression that hit a cold front.
And Chicago was supposed to be under a mile of Ice by now due to THE COMING ICE AGE hysteria of the 1970s!

That tells you right there that they were blowing smoke all along.
Only the very stupid and gullible believe in "global warming."
The science is never about the science. It is an excuse to seize more political power and squelch economic growth so there are more cries for economic redistribution.
When the rhetoric comes from a Leftist, it’s never about “The Science”, it’s always about “The Revolution [Oppression 4/of U]”.
Acid rain was successfully prevented by new, costly environmental regulations. And so many years later, it was still horrifying to see entire dead forests killed by acid rain.
But such successes are exactly the problem with global warming... they picked a “crisis” that couldn’t be solved.
iirc the tide/sealevel was always measured by a line on a rock, in Glasgow?
what does IT say...
They said the same thing in ‘75 when I was in HS.
Scared so many young they stopped planning for future.
“Glad I’m not the only one that remembers acid rain.”
It was one of Prince’s first attempts at a hit song. I remember it well.
“What do you call an expert … ?“
Paul Ehrlich.
“For the true believer no proof is necessary”. Stuart Chase. (And no disproof possible)
Hello, my friend. If you’re speaking of the “Hit and Run” list, JV3MRC actually does reply every so often (one in twenty, I would say). I do wish he would not excerpt his own material but that is another story. Out of fairness, he contributes to FR. What else can one ask? Still, love to hear more from you, JV3MRC!
