Will the world end in 12 years? Maybe 30?
If history is any guide, it will not. Many similar predictions have been made in the past, but they came and went without tragedy.
Here are the five worst predictions made about 2020 that failed to pan out.
1. The U.S. may warm 6 degrees F from 1990 to 2020.
In 1990, The Washington Post reported in a front page story: “Carbon dioxide is the gas most responsible for predictions that Earth will warm on average by about 3 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2020.”
The outlet further warned: “The United States, because it occupies a large continent in higher latitudes, could warm by as much as 6 degrees Fahrenheit.”
Thirty years later, 2020 has finally arrived. The Earth has warmed approximately 1 degree Fahrenheit according to NASA. The United States also warmed roughly 1 degree.
Elliott Negin, a spokesman for the Union for Concerned Scientists, declined to comment.
The latest UN IPCC report, AR5, however, addresses the issue of whether their models were accurate. (The UN predictions differed from the 1990 Washington Post ones, which did not cite its source.)
The latest UN report shows that current temperatures are just within the UN’s old predictions made in 1990, but acknowledges that actual temperatures came in “on the lower end” of expectations. More
The Earth’s climate changes periodically and that is well documented. But man believing that they can alter this natural phenomenon is nothing more than insufferable arrogance. Anytime someone with an agenda makes a long term prediction one can guarantee that prediction only benefits the agenda.
I predict that Democrats in approximately 11 months will be crying, whining, stomping their feet in uncontrollable rage as they fail to get a socialist elected to the White House.
