>~1970 Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that “civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”
>1975 Newsweek article entitled “The Cooling World". There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production — with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth. The drop in food output could begin quite soon, perhaps only 10 years from now.
>1989 The San Jose Mercury News reported on June 30, 1989 that a “senior environmental official at the United Nations, Noel Brown, says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000.”
>2002 George Monbiot wrote in the UK Guardian that within “as little as 10 years, the world will be faced with a choice: arable farming either continues to feed the world’s animals... It cannot do both.”
>2008 ABC News; by 2015 we'll be paying $9 per gallon for gasoline, milk will cost $13 a gallon, and parts of the US will be under water.
These are just five examples from a pool of tens of thousands of "scientific conclusions" made by "experts" dating all the way back to the late 60's.
How much longer can they keep up this charade, Sup Forums?
Why are these "scientists" who spread so many false claims not imprisoned for the hysteria they have caused and the billions of dollars they have wasted?
i was saying the other day how it was strange that global warming madness was trending because trump got elected. yesterdays claim was that the north pole is 36 degrees warmer than it should be. now im not a climate expert, but holy hell 36 degrees is a bit of a stretch, you would think the rest of the world would have to compensate for that? so why arent we at the equator at least a few degrees warmer?
Hudson Jenkins
Well North is *up* right? And heat rises, right? So the heat rises NORTH, or "up" and pool at the North pole.
Damn user, you stupid.
Daniel Morris
you stupid! also i hate sarcasm!

Back in high school (approx 2007) my teacher explained to me that when he was in school, they were worried about Global COOLING. He's not a repub either. Anyone verify this Global Cooling thing way back when?

Envirowhacko fear mongering has been a feature of daily life since the 60s
Carson Murphy
The antarctic is about 36 degrees colder, there is a problem with earths axis that we can try and fix with multiple nuclear detonations in the equatorial zones.
Obviously the only problem is too many monkeys and not enough bananas, you can already tell by the price of a decent tree house. Until the base problem is addressed it's all just mental masturbation but who is going to decide who fornicates and who doesn't? Who gets birth control, education and access to abortion and who doesn't? No one, if they try the monkeys will revolt like they always do. Best course is let bananas run out and let monkeys die, from the ashes will rise new banana plantations and monkeys as always.

God if only that article came true. Humans are a problem, I dont fully accept ""global warming"" as a fully manmade thing. Sure we do things that could expedite it, but I largely believe we are in a natural warming phase. Humans however are great at physically destroying our environment which is a problem. It wouldn't hurt to have a few less people. What we need is mass extinction in africa and other developing parts of the world.
Luke Green
You're not alone, that was the hot meme before global warming, which as you know, came before "climate change".
