In 1989, the Associated Press relayed a warning from a U.N. official:
"A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000."
In 1967, a best-selling book came out called “Famine 1975! America’s Decision: Who Will Survive?”
It predicted mass starvation around the developing world due to increasing population. “Today’s crisis can move in only one direction – toward catastrophe,” it warned.
Global cooling was once a worry to many, such as University of California at Davis professor Kenneth Watt, who warned that present trends would make the world “eleven degrees colder in the year 2000 ... about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”
British science writer Nigel Calder was just as worried. "The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind,” Calder warned in International Wildlife magazine in 1975.
In 2006, while promoting his movie “An Inconvenient Truth”, Al Gore said that humanity had only 10 years left before the world would reach a point of no return.
Gore’s movie also featured animations of water inundating Manhattan and Florida.
In 1982, U.N. official Mostafa Tolba, executive director of the UN Environment Program, warned:
“By the turn of the century, an environmental catastrophe will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible, as any nuclear holocaust.”
In 1970, Sen. Gaylord Nelson, D-Wisc., – often considered the “father of Earth Day” – cited the secretary of the Smithsonian, who “believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”

Yep, another.
But we should really, really, really believe them this time.
What? There’s no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny? You expect me to believe you, after being wrong so many times on so many things.
Any time you see the word “expert”, you can be absolutely assured that whatever follows will be complete bullsh*t. It’s a universal truth, and more so today than ever before.
#11 - It’s over!
I’m still waiting for my Murder Hornet Apocalypse. Dang it, I want my murder hornets and I want them now!
I remember, as a kid, in he forties, the guys with the sandwich boards walking around Times Square. The message was always:
THE END IS NEAR.
And that is probably at high tide.
That’s because Plymouth Rock stays at sea level since it floats!
And is therefore...A WITCH!
A doomsday preacher on a local radio show took that quite literally, so he only announced the year and month... which has passed long ago.
