Nixon - cancer war that was going to take ten years.
the second ice age.
Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that “civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”
“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make,” Paul Ehrlich confidently declared in the April 1970 Mademoiselle. “The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.”

Ehrlich sketched out his most alarmist scenario for the 1970 Earth Day issue of The Progressive, assuring readers that between 1980 and 1989, some 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would perish in the “Great Die-Off.”

In January 1970, Life reported, “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….”

Ecologist Kenneth Watt declared, “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.'” (oil glut today)

Harrison Brown, a scientist at the National Academy of Sciences, published a chart in Scientific American that looked at metal reserves and estimated the humanity would totally run out of copper shortly after 2000. Lead, zinc, tin, gold, and silver would be gone before 1990.

Kenneth Watt warned about a pending Ice Age in a speech. “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years,” he declared. “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.”

during the 1960s and 1970s, there was an 86 percent scientific consensus that the planet was on a cooling path. But this was airbrushed out of history so successfully that even now if you do a Google search on “70s global cooling scare” the top results claim it never really happened.

It is all about getting the research dollars.
Talk big, people will think you are clever, get the money, take your time, do a report, ask for more, then retire.

Took the words right away from my fingers, kincsem.

It's amazing how much is discovered just in time for funding rounds.

Free energy was discovered in 1920-30's .. the guy worked on it for years perfecting his 'machine' .. when he tried to go mainstream he met a very fast & mysterious death!

Some of our best inventions were found in error ie whilst looking for something else.
Penicillin and x-rays being two examples.

So we can file scientists predictions alongside rapture predictions and Money Tree's tips

Rapture window is Oct2016 to end of September 2017.

It's still with us - three more months duffus.

We were all going to die of heart attacks unless we stuck to low fat diets.

So we replaced fat with carbohydrates and sugar.

Now we're all getting fat and dying from diabetes through eating too many carbs and sugar.

Oh and we're still dying from heart attacks.
