st. louis post dispatch 8 aug 1930 c.f. marvin climate hysteria
Line 1: Line 1:  
Throughout the years, the [[mainstream media]] has predicted major climate disasters many times over, with many being disproven by time simply passing. The goalpost has continued to move as they have been proven incorrect. They claim that manmade changes will help stunt the impending disasters, which seem to not end up happening anyways.

The beginning of these predictions began on the first established [[Earth Day]], in 1970. It began with fears of a [[global cooling]] that slowly, over time, evolved to concerns of [[global warming]] once it became evident that they were incorrect in their initial predictions.
+
While predictions for the future are a relatively modern phenomenon climate-wise, there are examples of climate panic going back as far as the 1930s. [[The Observer]], a newspaper in London, claimed in 1937 that Europe's climate was drastically warming, saying that their climate within the last 5 years has "no parallel for [nearly] a century and a half", referring to the late 1770s and early 1780s.<ref>https://www.newspapers.com/clip/85533992/1937-nov-7-climate-change/</ref>

The beginning of these predictions in the modern sense, saw a revitalization on [[Earth Day]], in 1970. It began with fears of a [[global cooling]] that slowly, over time, evolved to concerns of [[global warming]] once it became evident that they were incorrect in their initial predictions.

In the modern day, most predictions about climate change center around either greenhouse gases for terms of global warming, or microplastics in terms of changes to the environment. Climate policy, such as the [[Paris Climate Agreement]], is often dictated by predictions of scientists who make these predictions and projections regarding the environment and weather, but as is shown in the list below, The Science™ is often unreliable or inaccurate.

Climate policy, such as the [[Paris Climate Agreement]], is often dictated by predictions of scientists who make these predictions and projections regarding the environment and weather, but as is shown in the list below, The Science™ is often unreliable or inaccurate. A great example of their inaccuracy comes from the assertions of former [[National Weather Service]] (then called the Weather Bureau) head C.F. Marvin, who stated that "There may be trends of hotter, or colder, or drier, or wetter weather for several years, but on the whole, weather balances to about a constant factor."<ref>https://www.newspapers.com/clip/89556922/st-louis-post-dispatch/</ref> He then cited an example of climate scientists at the time predicting global increases in temperature, despite the fact that 8 years prior, in 1922, Washington D.C. received more than 25 inches of snow in 24 hours, which was more than had ever been recorded in New York, Chicago, Boston, or St. Paul since the NWS had began keeping records of snowfall in 1870.
    
Due to the nature of this article, many major climate predictions may be absent, as these are predictions that have been disproven by the advance of time, and therefore are archaic in nature. Obviously incorrect predictions made in recent years by people such as [[Greta Thunberg]] will not be present until enough time has passed that they are evidently wrong.
