Hello Folks,
Last Friday, 23 November, a report titled the “Fourth National Climate Assessment” was released in the United States—that was put together with the help of 1,000 people, including 300 leading scientists, roughly half from outside the US government—and whose main conclusion was that “thousands more could die, food will be scarcer, and the US economy could lose hundreds of billions of dollars -- or, in the worst-case scenario, more than 10% of its GDP -- by the end of the century”.
Apparently, one of the only American leaders left having a sane mind is President Donald Trump, who in commenting on this climate change report simply said “I don’t believe it”—but who new polling shows isn’t being supported in his views as 64% of the people in his own Republican Party say they believe that Earth's climate is changing, up from 49% in 2015, and who join 92% of Democrats and 78% of independents who have bought tickets on this “Train Ride To Insanity”, too.
It’s important for you all to remember that this climate change/global warming hysteria began 48 year ago in the United States on 22 April 1970—the first “Earth Day”—and whose dire predictions are worth all our remembering, such as:
The day after the first Earth Day, the New York Times editorial page warned, “Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.”
Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that “civilization will end by 1985 or 2000 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 issue of Mademoiselle. “The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death by 1980.”
“Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born,” wrote Paul Ehrlich in a essay titled “Eco-Catastrophe!” warned: “By 1975, food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions.”
“It is already too late to avoid mass starvation,” declared Denis Hayes, the chief organizer for Earth Day, in the Spring 1970 issue of The Living Wilderness.
In January 1970, Life reported, “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: By 1980, 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.”
Paul Ehrlich chimed in, predicting in 1970 that “air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.” Ehrlich sketched a scenario in which 200,000 Americans would die in 1973 during “smog disasters” in New York and Los Angeles.
Ecologist Kenneth Watt declared, “By the year 2000, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate…that there won’t be any more crude oil.
Harrison Brown, a scientist at the National Academy of Sciences, published a chart in Scientific American that looked at metal reserves and estimated that humanity would totally run out of copper shortly after 2000. Lead, zinc, tin, gold, and silver would be gone before 1990.
Senator Gaylord Nelson wrote in Look that, Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that by 1995, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.
Now folks I gotta be honest with you here, and in case you failed to notice, NOT A SINGLE ONE of these apocalyptic predictions came true—in fact, history has proven that they are some of greatest lies ever told to the American people by their leading mainstream news organizations, political leaders and “expert” scientists!
In a rational and sane world the people that whipped up this type of hysteria would be banished from normal society forever—but we all know this didn’t happen with, instead, these lunatics being celebrated as modern day heroes and visionaries—such as former US Vice President Al Gore being awarded an Oscar for his 2006 global warming/climate change horror movie “An Inconvenient Truth”—wherein Gore warned/declared that unless we took “drastic measures” to reduce greenhouse gasses, the world would reach a “point of no return” by 2016.
Following Gore’s lead in 2008, the popular mainstream media television programme Good Morning America warned their viewers that because of global warming/climate change, in 2015 the price of a gallon of gas would be $9 a gallon and milk would be $13 a gallon, too.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
