Most of those dire predictions say "unless we start fixing such and such a problem then ..." this or that bad thing will happen.
BTW,
I challenge you to show me an expert who predicted "another ice age in 10 years."
I challenge you to show me an expert who predicted "acid rain will destroy all crops in 10 years."
I challenge you to show me an expert who predicted "the ozone layer will be destroyed in 10 years."
Got links and quotes, or just straw men???
BTW taxes went down in a few of those decades, so the claim "all resulted in more taxes" is also false.
All in all, quite a fine collection of falsehoods!!!

@ElwoodBlues Mr elwood, I am guessing that you are at least in your 30s. If not then never mind but if so, surely you remember when all these ideas that were listed were being pushed. At the very least about the ozone and acid rain.
Who knows whether or not some expert said it but unless you have Alzheimer's or amnesia, then you surely remember when they pushed those ideas.
Kind of like when your precious covid-19 was new and they were talking about it spreading like wildfire and we were all going to die and all this crap. But now that that hole charade is over people have conveniently forgotten about that one as well.
I already know you're thinking, where's the proof where's the charts where are the web links. I am not about to dig that crap up but surely you remember that unless you are suffering early onset dementia

@CestManan I certainly remember hearing that these issues were problems. But I'm calling bulllshit on the ten year timeframes. That's a straw man.
Regarding Covid-19, the claim was a 1% fatality rate made worse by overflowing hospitals. The " we were all going to die" is bullllshit.
I'm calling bulllshit on the exaggerations. If you were to accurately quote the warnings, the were rational and based on solid data. If you need to exaggerate the warnings to the point of absurdity, you don't actually have much of a case. And lets not forget reductions in taxes in many of those decades.
