Eh - get back to me in about 30 years.
If you can't see what's going on, I can't do much for you. People like to talk about all of the "chicken little" predictions that didn't come true, but coral reefs are dying en masse, habitat is being lost en masse, there is a dead zone in the gulf that is incomprehensibly huge, the oceanic food chain is dangerously close to the tipping point, etc. etc. etc.
What planet are you looking at? The one I'm seeing is screaming "unsustainable."
Left wing fear mongering....its what they do best........
30 years ???? Maybe you'll remember the fear mongering by the lefty nuts just 30 years ago.....
Earth Day Predictions, April 22, 1970
"We have about
five more years at the outside to do something."
-- Kenneth Watt, ecologist
"
Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind."
-- George Wald, Harvard Biologist
"We are in
an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation."
-- Barry Commoner, Washington University biologist
"Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but
to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction."
-- New York Times editorial, the day after the first Earth Day
"Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least
100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years."
-- Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
"By...[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into
famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s."
-- Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
"
It is already too late to avoid mass starvation."
-- Denis Hayes, chief organizer for Earth Day
"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."
-- Peter Gunter, professor, North Texas State University
"
Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support...the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution...by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half...."
-- Life Magazine, January 1970
"At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it's only a matter of time before
light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable."
-- Kenneth Watt, Ecologist
"Air pollution...
is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone."
-- Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
"We are prospecting for
the very last of our resources and using up the nonrenewable things many times faster than we are finding new ones."
-- Martin Litton, Sierra Club director
"By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate...
that there won't be any more crude oil. You'll drive up to the pump and say, `Fill 'er up, buddy,' and he'll say, `I am very sorry, there isn't any.'"
-- Kenneth Watt, Ecologist
"Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between
75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct."
-- Sen. Gaylord Nelson
"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, Ecologist
Fear mongering nuts from30 years ago.....make you laugh today with the nonsense they predicted...
The same is happening today and the fools like Cypress and Onecell buy it all over again, hook, line and sinker....how pathetic
