Newsweek magazine on Earth Day 1970:
“[One] theory assumes that the earth’s cloud cover will continue to thicken as more dust, fumes, and water vapor are belched into the atmosphere by industrial smokestacks and jet planes.
Screened from the sun’s heat, the planet will cool, the water vapor will fall and freeze, and a new Ice Age will be born.”

"The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age." — Kenneth Watt

If a liberal can believe all that and watch "The Road" (The world's most depressing movie) without committing suicide, they'll outlive the cockroaches.

No wonder there was so much gloom and doom back on the first EARTH DAY. My God, those poor peoples were going to choke to death on the polluted air right after they died of starvation from the world wide famines. Right after that came the dehydration because of the polluted water, then the poor devils were going to freeze due to the coming ice age.
Holy Gladiola! What an awful future we faced.
And it all came true. Didn't it? Are you sure?

The part about “pulling up the the pump” and saying “fill’er up buddy” is about the funniest of all!
Thank goodness we’re able to correctly predict the future now ;-)

I was in 2nd grade when my hippie teacher read those predictions from the old Scholastic Press newsletter. She seemed almost happy about it. Even as an 8 year old, I thought, “this is BS” and I filed that away in my brain for 43 years.
I’m glad that it was 100% BS. I wonder where Ms Shell is today and if she regrets trying to scare children (some kids cried).

I PREDICT......
That man will refine his use of materials to product products (example - producing can goods from sterilized waste products. The same would hold true of cars, airplanes, houses etc.
Secondarily we would develop adequate space travel to mine planets such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, the moons of Jupiter and the asteroid belt.
I envision Mercury (as well as Venus) having underground cities which use heat to generate refrigeration for underground miners.
Titan and Ganymede would also be viable options with the right technology.

"... "Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions…. By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine." — North Texas State University professor Peter Gunter Is it naughty of me to read this and be a little bit disappointed that it didn't come true?
Talk about heralding a new age of peace and a global renaissance made up of who's left. Sheesh.

One prediction that was wrong was that the girlfriend of Earth Day's founder,Ira Einhorn,would live to celebrate her 30th birthday rather than wind up dripping as malodorous ooze from his closet into his downstairs neighbor's kitchen.
