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.

Ice caps

In 2008, James Hansen predicts that the arctic will be ice free by 2018.^[1]
In 2009, former vice president of the United States Al Gore predicted that ice caps would be gone by 2014. ^[2]
In 2012, climate alarmist Peter Wadhams predicted the collapse of arctic sea ice by 2016.^[3]

Rising sea levels

In 1971, biologist Paul Ehrlich predicted that the United Kingdom would be an archipelago of hungry people by 2000.^[4]
In 1988, climatologists claim that the Maldives will be underwater by 2018.^[5]
In 1988, Climatologist James Hansen predicted that the West Side Highway in Manhattan would be submerged underwater by 2008. ^[6]
In 1989, UN environmental officials claims that entire nations would be "wiped off the face of the earth" if climate change went unchecked by 2000. Over 20 years later, this has yet to happen.^[7] Even liberal fact checkers admit fault with this statement.^[8]
In 2003, Pentagon scientists predicted that many parts of California would be completely underwater as part of a new delta by the year 2013.^[9]
In 2005, ABC predicts that NYC will be underwater by 2015.^[10]

Greenhouse gases and global warming

In 1974, a scientist tells congress that ozone depletion will cause "great peril" and that rates of skin cancer could increase to 8,000 extra people per year by 1990.^[11]
In 1988, NASA scientists warn of mass droughts in the 1990s.^[12]
In 1990, IPCC author Michael Oppenheimer predicted that the North American continent would be overwhelmed by famine and crop failures by 1995. ^[13]
In 2000, climatologist David Viner stated that snowfall could become a thing of the past.^[14]^[15]
In 2005, the United Nations Environmental Programme predicted that there would be 50 million climate refugees by 2010.^[16]
In 2012, the Washington Post predicts that cherry blosssom trees will be blooming in Washington D.C. by wintertime.^[17]
In 2014, French foreign minister Laurent Fabius warned that humanity had 500 days before "climate chaos".^[18]

Pollution

In 1969, the New York Times publishes "Everyone Will Disappear In a Cloud Of Blue Steam By 1989".^[19]
In 1970, Life magazine predicted that all urban city dwellers would need to wear gas masks in order to survive in an air polluted climate by the year 1980, and that sunlight would only penetrate half as hard as it did due to particles in the air.^[20]
In 1980, acid rain is called a "front page concern" over the possible mass extinction events involving aquatic life.^[21]

Global cooling

In 1970, Kenneth Watts stated that by the year 2000, the globe will have cooled by 11 degrees.^[22]
In 1971, Dr. S. Ichtiaque Rasool predicted that the earth would enter into a new ice age within the coming decades.^[23] The Brown University Department of Geological Sciences predicted an ice age by 2070, which contrasts to new claims of heating crises by modern climate alarmists.
In 1975, Newsweek ran an article called "Cooling World", predicting that the climate was cooling at such a fast rate that there would be mass famine. Newsweek later retracted the claim in 2014.^[24]
In addition to that, they "Population Bomb" by Paul Ehrlich claimed that 65 million Americans would starve to death in the 1980s.^[25]
In 2004, the Guardian leaked a Bush intelligence document that predicted that Great Britain would be plunged into a Siberian-like climate by 2020.^[26]
