World News See other World News Articles Title: 2022 Same Shit, Different Year: 55 Years Of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions Authored by Myron Ebell and Steven Milloy via CEI.org, Thanks go to Tony Heller, who first collected many of these news clips and posted them on RealClimateScience. SUMMARY Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today. None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true. What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and science. More than merely spotlighting the failed predictions, this collection shows that the makers of failed apocalyptic predictions often are individuals holding respected positions in government and science. While such predictions have been and continue to be enthusiastically reported by a media eager for sensational headlines, the failures are typically not revisited. 1967: ‘Dire famine by 1975.’ Source: Salt Lake Tribune, November 17, 1967 1969: ‘Everyone will disappear in a cloud of blue steam by 1989.’ Source: New York Times, August 10 1969 1970: Ice age by 2000 Source: Boston Globe, April 16, 1970 1970: ‘America subject to water rationing by 1974 and food rationing by 1980.’ Source: Redlands Daily Facts, October 6, 1970 1971: ‘New Ice Age Coming’ Source: Washington Post, July 9, 1971 1972: New ice age by 2070 Source: NOAA, October 2015 1974: ‘New Ice Age Coming Fast’ Source: The Guardian, January 29, 1974 1974: ‘Another Ice Age?’ Source: TIME, June 24, 1974 1974: Ozone Depletion a ‘Great Peril to Life’ But no such ‘great peril to life’ has been observed as the so-called ‘ozone hole’ remains: Sources: Headline NASA Data | Graph 1976: ‘The Cooling’ Source: New York Times Book Review, July 18, 1976 1980: ‘Acid Rain Kills Life in Lakes’ Noblesville Ledger (Noblesville, IN) April 9, 1980 But 10 years later, the US government program formed to study acid rain concluded: Associated Press, September 6, 1990 1978: ‘No End in Sight’ to 30-Year Cooling Trend Source: New York Times, January 5, 1978 But according to NASA satellite data there is a slight warming trend since 1979.

And bringing us up to date in 2022... As CEI reports, climate alarmists and their media allies once again made a slew of claims about natural disasters being caused by man-made emissions in 2022. And once again, these claims clashed with reality and science. Here are 10 fact checks of climate disaster claims made by the Associated Press and other media outlets in 2022. The Bottom Line: There is not a single natural disaster, nor trend in any type of natural disaster that can be credibly linked with emissions or whatever gradual “climate change” may be occurring for whatever reason, including natural climate change. Attributing natural disaster damages to emissions and climate change is without a factual or scientific basis. And that certainly goes for 2022. Regardless of one’s view of what passes as “climate science,” the good news is that even researchers who believe that “climate change” is a problem acknowledge that the number of weather-related deaths and the cost of weather-related damage are actually on the decline – despite ever-increasing emissions and whatever slight warming may be occurring.

LOL, Horse, how many B-movies have you financed? :) “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
Phantom Of the Paradise came out 1973/1974, and my speed freak parents took me to see it at the Drive-In movies. I still don't get this movie, unlike Tommy, which I think is Opera.
