Earth Day predictions of 1970. The reason you shouldn’t believe Earth Day predictions of 2009.
I hate the media
For the next 24 hours, the media will assault us with tales of imminent disaster that always accompany the annual Earth Day Doom & Gloom Extravaganza.
Ignore them. They’ll be wrong. We’re confident in saying that because they’ve always been wrong. And always will be.
Need proof? Here are some of the hilarious, spectacularly wrong predictions made on the occasion of Earth Day 1970.
“We have about five more years at the outside to do something.”
• Kenneth Watt, ecologist
“Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”
• George Wald, Harvard Biologist
“We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.”
• Barry Commoner, Washington University biologist

Did you notice the names of the people who made these stupid statements.
All known environmentalist nuts who have been wrong continously.
Yet they are still getting undue attention by the media and clueless morons who never bother to do a simple background check of these people.
