CBS News' 1982 Climate Change Doomsday Prediction Fail

Posted • December 16, 2024: SCIENCE! Just for Fun Here Are some of My Favorite Climate Change Doomsday Prediction Fails — Anybody old enough certainly remembers decades worth of climate change (formerly global warming, formerly "another ice age") alarmism, and recently Amy C. had a great story noting how media outlets, in this case Newsweek, have again moved the goal post on when coastal cities will be under water: SUPER SERIAL: Newsweek Warns Cities That Were Meant to Be Underwater by 2020 Will Be Underwater by 2050: https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/12/09/newsweek-cities-under-water-by-2050-n2404898 -- That story brought back memories of a few other climate change prediction fails, and these people just keep hoping nobody notices that their alarmism is just political agendas poorly disguised "science." The more desperate they get the more obvious it becomes. That brings me to the man mockingly referred to as The Goracle. This clip from 1982 features not one, but two proven liars:

A 1982 CBS News report—featuring a 34 year old Al Gore—predicts the "widespread disruption of agriculture", and 25% of Florida ending up underwater, "due to the burning of coal and oil". Despite the fact that none of this happened Gore is still out there peddling his climate snake oil to those trying to get in on the sham. So confident were the global warming fear mongers in government that a sign was put up at Glacier National Park that basically said "enjoy looking at the glacier now, because it's going away by 2020." Then, when 2020 came around, things got awkward: The signs at Glacier National Park warning that its signature glaciers would be gone by 2020 are being changed. They were added more than a decade ago to reflect climate change forecasts at the time by the US Geological Survey, a park spokeswoman says. https://cnn.it/36BlJFw -- Womp womp!
