Environmental Disaster Predictions
The results are in, and the predictions were: "Stunningly Wrong"!...
I found this in a National Center for Policy Analysis Earth Day press release:
"Most Earth Day predictions turned out to be stunningly wrong. In 1970, environmentalists said there would soon be a new ice age and massive deaths from air pollution. The New York Times foresaw the extinction of the human race. Widely-quoted biologist Paul Ehrlich predicted worldwide starvation by 1975. "
