Changes

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.

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>{{Cite news |date=1937-11-07 |title=Has Europe's Climate Changed? |pages=20 |work=The Observer |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-observer-1937-nov-7-climate-change/85533992/ |access-date=2023-06-16}}</ref>

While predictions for the future are a relatively modern phenomenon climate-wise, there are examples of climate panic going back as far as the 18th century, and really kicking off with warming hysteria in the 1930s.

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.
