Here is an answer for you. Some fools will ask you for the peer comparisons but that is not valid. These are historical quotes made by people who have been proven wrong historically. They used their credentials to falsify facts or they didn't really know the facts and are the same caliber as alarmists today.
In 1970 when Earth Day was conceived, the late George Wald, a Nobel laureate biology professor at Harvard University, predicted, “Civilization will end within 15 to 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”
Also in 1970, Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford University biologist and best-selling author of “The Population Bomb,” declared the world’s population would soon outstrip food supplies.
In a article for The Progressive, he predicted that “The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people will be starving to death within the next 10 years.” He gave this warning in 1969 to Britain's Institute Of Biology: “If I were a gambler I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.” On the first Earth Day, Ehrlich warned, “In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct.” Ehrlich has won no fewer than 16 prestigious.
In International Wildlife (July 1975), Nigel Calder warned, “The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside of nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.”
In Science News (1975), C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorology Organization is reported as saying, “the cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed.”
In 1970 ecologist Kenneth Watt told a Swarthmore College audience: The world has been chilling sharply for about 20 years. If present conditions continue, the world will be 4 degrees colder for the mean temperature in 1990 but 11 degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.
Also in 1970, Senator Gaylord Nelson, D-Wis., wrote in Look magazine: “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, Secretary of the Smithsonian (Institution), believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all of the species of living animals will be extinct.”
Hoodwinking Americans is part of th environmental agenda. Environmental activist Stephen Schneider told Discover Magazine in 1989: We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. … Each of us has to decide what the right balance is of being effective and being honest.
In 1998 then Senator Timothy Worth, D-Col., said “We’ve got to … try to ride the global warming issue. Even if it theory of global warming is wrong … we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.”
Americans have paid a steep price for buying into environmental deception and lies.
