Again, notice the timeline and use of the word “could”.

Thirty-five years from now who is going to remember this author much less what was written?. After all the first Earth Day back in 1970 said that there “could” be ice bergs in the Gulf of Mexico by the turn of the century some thirty years later. Still waiting to see my first berg.

And, as any writer/lawyer will tell you “could” is an easy way out if your prediction doesn’t come true. You didn’t say it would happen just that it might. So, what’s the odds of it happening? One in ten, one in a hundred, one in a thousand, ... Based on the first predictions some 45 years ago - I would say maybe one in a million.

Who bets their family’s life style on those odds?

Again, notice the timeline and use of the word “could”.

Any time I see a 'conditional' verb in the title or first paragraph of an article, I consider it nothing more than supposition and conjecture.

Such articles hold about as much real scientific value as a call to Miss Cleo.
