Yeah 13 is really going in the wrong direction if you’re algore. :)
Hysterical predictions.
I wonder if anyone took it seriously and became a survivalist and sold everything and moved into an abandoned silo :)

One thing that wasn't predicted,but surprised nobody when it happened,was that I would be murdered and left in a trunk for months by the founder of "Earth Day",Ira Einhorn.

By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate
that there wont be any more crude oil. Youll drive up to the pump and say, Fill er up, buddy, and hell say, I am very sorry, there isnt any. Ecologist Kenneth Watt
I particularly love this one.

I came of age in the ‘70s and so grew up with all the apocalyptic rantings. Took them too seriously until I learned better. Ofc the Ecotards will say their hysterical warnings led to policy changes that averted the worst for a while.... but that claim falls apart if we look at any details.

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. This might have come true if socialism had been allowed to progress unchecked.
As it is, there is Venezuela.

Paul Ehrlich’s predictions and statements are consistently idiotic.
He a top grand wizard of the pagan cult religion that is environmentalism.

Yea, I (sorta) remember celebrating the first green day by smoking weed. I don’t think that it was what our teachers had in mind - except perhaps Mr. Clarke ;’}

Some have passed away; others still secure in their tenured faculty positions.

I predict that I’m going to burn a copy of silent spring that I purchased yesterday. Chances if it coming true: 100%. Grabs matches.
