Excellent job compiling all of that! I remember many of those "world ending" narratives bandied about all the way back to the 60's. Planet and climate alarmist will always sell more than happy, optimistic print. Follow the money? Indeed.
ReplyDeleteHe forgot the ozone hole.
DeleteYou can go further back and have a better understanding of their track record. These control freaks have been prognosticating for a century and never gotten it right yet. So they go after being right and call it racism to further their control.
ReplyDeleteRemember the Saturday Night live skits about the "Killer Bee's" (back when Saturday Night Live was funny)?
ReplyDeleteI remember Garret Morris in the bee suit!
DeleteHow about when the bees were at summer camp and when the lights went out, the boy bees were buzzing off! John Belushi said, "Jimmy was buzzing bnb in his bed and got honey all over the sheets"! I laughed my ass off over that one.
DeleteAs a kid, I remember some pretty sharp illustrations accompanying the dire headlines.
ReplyDeleteWriting as someone who works in a STEM field... a scientific theory requires testable predictions. If predictions do not meet experiment (reality) the theory has - at best - significant flaws.
ReplyDeleteOr it is a debunked low grade hypothesis. Never had a chance as a theory.
DeleteWow, just Wow. I tried to post this on the ever fair minded book of face, and was told that it was harmful to others. I never realized just how bad truth bothers some people. Just when you think you have seen every stupid thing the powers that be can do, BAM they turn around and surprise you with something even more stupid, that makes you shake your head, just to try and get the BS to tumble out of your ear holes.
ReplyDeleteThey are referred to as neo Malthusians for a reason. They go back to Rachael Carson and another well know Malthusian is Paul Ehrlich who still runs the college circuit with bs for bucks. Julian Simon laid waste to all of them.
ReplyDeleteAh yes grasshopper, the silent spring remember it well. Let's get rid of DDT and save the planet while killing 100s of millions of African children with malaria. They would never be able to comprehend the internet anyway so no great loss.
DeleteRachel Corrie's discredited work led to the deaths of millions in third world countries with malaria problems.
DeleteOop. I meant Rachel Carson, not St. Pancake.

Don't forget this classic archive. I think they guy stopped updating it in 2012.
