In honor of "EARTH DAY" lets revisit the predictions at the FIRST EARTH DAY shall we?

13 Worst Predictions Made on Earth Day, 1970 | CNS News

In 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated - okay, "celebrated" doesn't capture the funereal tone of the event. The events (organized in part by then hippie and now convicted murderer Ira Einhorn) predicted death, destruction and disease unless we did exactly as progressives commanded.

Behold the coming apocalypse as predicted on and around Earth Day, 1970:

1. "Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind." - Harvard biologist George Wald

2. "We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation." - Washington University biologist Barry Commoner

3. "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

4. "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." - Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich

5. "Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born... [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

6. "It is already too late to avoid mass starvation," - Denis Hayes, Chief organizer for Earth Day

7. "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

8. "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." - Lifemagazine

9. "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." - Ecologist Kenneth Watt

10. "Air pollution...is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone." - Paul Ehrlich

11. "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.'" - Ecologist Kenneth Watt

12. "[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." - Newsweek magazine

13. "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

Awesome thread........burst out laughing reading it!!!

These jerkoffs have been throwing bombs for decades and have moved the goalposts about 1 yard only......and in recent years, is going in reverse >>>





Indeed.......it is sad times for the climate k00ks!!!

Global cooling, global warming, climate change, the ignorant leading the ignorant.

Who wants to do the research on these predictions? I would...but who has the time? Nutters love these kinds of lists because they can be pretty sure that sane people wont spend much time debunking so many just to convince a few idiots that they are being incredibly stupid.

What if the predictions were actually made? What will you say then? Let me guess. Nothing.

Like when I provided a list of things the president has been guilty of and not one liberal responded. In fact, they ignored and moved on. Claiming how they are all on the side of the "rule of law."

Just like this racist thing. The left does not care about racism. In fact I think it is the left that made the term...."reverse racism." Let me clarify. Reverse racism....is non-racism. No, when one judges another solely on color of skin and not content of character, that is racism.

Hence, the voters of Obama that voted for him simply cause he is black (even though he is as white as Zimmerman, but curiously BSNBC never puts WHITE in front of Obama like they did for Zimmerman) are actual racists based on any definition and is actually right in line with MLK and his "famous speech." I get it, those that voted for Obama did it for his vast accomplishments. What were those vast accomplishments?

Hell the fucking left voted for Robert Byrd every year. Want me to list the quotes and his past? Thought not. They also voted for Ted Kennedy every year....and he......

Oh never mind. You don't care.

All of this is all relevant cause the left is not interested in the truth. They certainly do not care about any of the things they get all worked into a frenzy about.


This environment thing is just one thing in a long list of things the left is embarrassingly wrong about.

You do that there have been folks that have tirelessly worked to make all that stuff not happen, right?

But basically they've slowed down the process. It's still happening. Global warming is here.

If you show them the reality..they just shrug it off.

Yeap. I waited for some moron on the left that would claim the reason those things did not happen was because of hippies doing things to reverse the global cooling.

So, can we blame the left on global warming then?

Who knows?

What we do know is when THE GLOBAL WARMING is shown to not be happening, they will then take credit for the reverse of THE GLOBAL WARMING.


Rinse and repeat.

You know it is always great when Sallow graces with his logic. It is like my daily constitution.

Scientists funded by Exxon?

In New York, alone, we've experienced not one, but 2 "storms of the century".

The Thais got hit with the worst tsumani ever.

California is experiencing a drought.

And the aggregate temperature of the globe is rising.

This country is going to have to engage in massive SPENDING to deal with it.

But please..keep having your laugh.

70% of the people believe the scientists rig the data >>> http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/environment_energy/69_say_it_s_likely_scientists_have_falsified_global_warming_research


LMAO.....nobody gives a rats ass about the science s0n except the fringe nutters on this board and others.



25 years of bomb throwing and green energy is still laughable!!!!

Two storms of the century?

Dear Lord, they do not think NY has ever been hit by a hurricane before!!!!!

So let me get this straight, cause I have to admit I am confused by Sallow (whats new) here. He claims the reason why those predictions by the hippies in 1970 were so wrong was because there were great efforts to reverse them?

They predicted global cooling. So....if they reversed THE GLOBAL COOLING that means they were the ones that caused THE GLOBAL WARMING.

However, there is more than enough evidence that shows the motivation behind all of these foolish predictions. We have shown the hundreds of millions of dollars generated by phony green businesses, and the rivers of money flowing into coffers as a result of green regulations. We have shown 31000 signatures from scientists showing they are not on board with THE GLOBAL WARMING. Considering the morons the left claim the science is settled, only shows their blatant lies.

Not that moron like Sallow cares. He does not care, nor does any left wing idiot care. We already showed their blatant racism, and how they support anyone on the left. Even if show blatant racism (notice he will not even try to explain why Robert Byrd remained a democratic senator all of those years) and they certainly do not judge people on content of character. They support AL Sharpton and crush Allen West after all.


Left wingers are hypocritical losers. Nothing more.

The hopelessly duped, stuck deep inside the matrix assholes can be identified from 1,000 miles away!!! They read Rolling Stone Magazine 24 hours a day AND while sitting on the shitter!!!

These morons buy the established narrative hook, line and stinker........like extreme weather is some kind of recent phenomenon!!!

WHO predicted these things?

Ricochet.com Editor and Freedomworks contributor Jon Gabriel doesn't bother to tell us.

Ergo we can only assume that JON GABRIEL is making shit up.

You seem pissed.

Are you saying none of those things were predicted?


Poor poor liberals. This is how they deal with their cognitive dissonance of having to deal with their types from the past.

They make quotes.........all big and they shout.

 

[Theowl32]

Look everyone. Liberals in the First Earth Day!!!!

LOL!!!!

Part I





Part II




Part III

 

[LoneLaugher]

Who wants to do the research on these predictions? I would...but who has the time? Nutters love these kinds of lists because they can be pretty sure that sane people wont spend much time debunking so many just to convince a few idiots that they are being incredibly stupid.

What if the predictions were actually made? What will you say then? Let me guess. Nothing.

Like when I provided a list of things the president has been guilty of and not one liberal responded. In fact, they ignored and moved on. Claiming how they are all on the side of the "rule of law."

Just like this racist thing. The left does not care about racism. In fact I think it is the left that made the term...."reverse racism." Let me clarify. Reverse racism....is non-racism. No, when one judges another solely on color of skin and not content of character, that is racism.

Hence, the voters of Obama that voted for him simply cause he is black (even though he is as white as Zimmerman, but curiously BSNBC never puts WHITE in front of Obama like they did for Zimmerman) are actual racists based on any definition and is actually right in line with MLK and his "famous speech." I get it, those that voted for Obama did it for his vast accomplishments. What were those vast accomplishments?

Hell the fucking left voted for Robert Byrd every year. Want me to list the quotes and his past? Thought not. They also voted for Ted Kennedy every year....and he......

Oh never mind. You don't care.

All of this is all relevant cause the left is not interested in the truth. They certainly do not care about any of the things they get all worked into a frenzy about.


This environment thing is just one thing in a long list of things the left is embarrassingly wrong about.

What do you mean....what if? You don't know if the shit you posted is factual?

That list has be around for several years, sheep. It gets passed around among idiots every year. Find the original sources......find me an interview with someone discussing one of these predictions. Let's have some context. You fucking dummy.

The reason you deny the effects of climate change is 100% political. If the GOP started to run on a greener platform, you'd change your tune in ten minutes.

I'm as cynical as anyone you will ever meet, idiot. I would love to learn that all of this is just bullshit. It would make life easier for everyone.

However, the science here is settled. We need to make some changes. Inconvenient and costly changes.

Get a clue.

 

[LoneLaugher]

And.....why the race discussion here? Want to change the subject?

13 Worst Predictions Made on Earth Day, 1970 | CNS News

In 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated - okay, "celebrated" doesn't capture the funereal tone of the event. The events (organized in part by then hippie and now convicted murderer Ira Einhorn) predicted death, destruction and disease unless we did exactly as progressives commanded.

Behold the coming apocalypse as predicted on and around Earth Day, 1970:

1. "Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind." - Harvard biologist George Wald

2. "We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation." - Washington University biologist Barry Commoner

3. "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

4. "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." - Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich

5. "Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born... [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

6. "It is already too late to avoid mass starvation," - Denis Hayes, Chief organizer for Earth Day

7. "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

8. "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." - Lifemagazine

9. "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." - Ecologist Kenneth Watt

10. "Air pollution...is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone." - Paul Ehrlich

11. "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.'" - Ecologist Kenneth Watt

12. "[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." - Newsweek magazine

13. "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

You do that there have been folks that have tirelessly worked to make all that stuff not happen, right?

But basically they've slowed down the process. It's still happening. Global warming is here.

The predictions weren't for global warming. They were for global cooling. Is global cooling here?
