*An odd example, in 1930, [[Smithsonian]] [[paleontologist]] James A. Gidley claimed that [[dinosaurs]] slowly became extinct over the course of "several million years" due to climate change.<ref>https://www.newspapers.com/clip/89556871/wausau-daily-herald/</ref> Even today, [[Old Earth]] scientists refute this claim.
*In 1936, The Great Falls Tribune warned of the destruction of the American agricultural industry due to eroding soil.<ref>https://www.newspapers.com/clip/89557850/great-falls-tribune/</ref> The Salt Lake Telegram made similar claims in the same year, saying, "our nation itself – may pass away because of the improper use of the soil".<ref>https://www.newspapers.com/clip/89557615/salt-lake-telegram/</ref> As of 2022, The US is still one of the top 4 largest producers of food in the world.<ref>https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/100615/4-countries-produce-most-food.asp#:~:text=Which%20Countries%20Produce%20the%20Most,agricultural%20producers%2C%20in%20that%20order.</ref>

*In 1936, the at-the-time [[Henry A. Wallace|Secretary of Agriculture, Henry A Wallace]], claimed that the United States would be affected by climate change in a way where droughts would be "a frequent occurrence from year to year."<ref>https://www.newspapers.com/clip/89557566/star-gazette/</ref> From 2010 to 2022, the only severe droughts occurring in the United States were those in [[California]], a state already known for mismanagement of forests and wildfires.<ref>https://www.drought.gov/historical-information?dataset=0&selectedDateUSDM=20160607&dateRangeUSDM=2010-2023</ref>
