Eight of them!

My favourite:

"By the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people ... If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000."

Dr. Paul Ehrlich, Speech at British Institute For Biology, September 1971.

Doh!

Yet the words of prophets of doom are still lapped up by the mainstream media. Take comfort in the fact that oft times, such so-called scientific brains can produce wonderful horse-sh*te.

I`m still waiting for personal "jet-packs" and "electricity, too cheap to meter".......

......and if one`s forecasts fall-short, the old chestnut gets wheeled out:

"If only we`d known then, what we know now!"

Im sure Banjax will soon be along to assure us that every word is true, but the right wing media are twisting the facts and quoting it all out of context.

It is very tempting,sometimes,to believe we live in a 'Hollywood' world of 007 and Tom Cruise,where clever Politicians and secret service agents protect us from the bad guys and 'comets' about to smash the Earth to bits.
Human beings will always relish the romantic notion of Hero's amongst us.
Just as parents will protect us as kids from the 'bogey men'

Just look at how accurate the weather forecasts are,yes,not very good,maybe get it right for tomorrowbut ask about next week,no chance.

Truth is they guess then add 20% tax and we pay.

Thanks.

Very deep. You should send that into the ‘Reader’s Digest’. They’ve got a page for people like you.

here Nickbat, have some light Hogmanay reading - each of the 137 most used arguments by climate change sceptics....and why they are tripe - purely in the interests of being "fair and balanced" you understand, as I can't recall you ever mentioning something which didn't fit your argument - see if these plug the gap.

It makes for a good laugh with its twisted statements.

I haven't the time or inclination to go through them all, but #53 caught my eye: "Thick Arctic ice is in rapid retreat". It caught my eye particularly as I had just read this:

"Area Of Thick Arctic Ice Has Doubled In The Last Two Years - US Navy PIPS data"

Incidentally, the link you provided is to a website set  up recently by the leading warmist activists who are rightly fearful that their house of cards is about to collapse.

So often science cannot predict what the future is as it studies and explains the 'now', but beyond that the very subject they discuss does not conform to their predictions.  They try to become almost sci-fi writers, but there is no power on earth, in even the largest most powerful computers that can calculate  the vagaries and uncertainties of nature.

An example is a factor I believe is the greatest threat to mankind; the super volcano. Forget global warming / cooling of the 'green' kind, the super volcano under Yellowstone Park in the United States when (not if) that releases its colossal power pent up power it will change the earth's environment for a very long time.  'When' it goes up is the question science cannot answer.  It could be next week, in a 100 years time, or in 6,000 years!  Scientist will try and predict with wonderful mathmatical calculations, but nature and God will decide and they cannot predict that, as they cannot predict much at all! In fact they think there are another 4 of these monsters, but again they cannot say when and how.  It is all semi-guess work:
