1. Braying Jackasses Speak: Quotes from Earth Day 1 The Original Leftist “Climate Catastrophe” Hoax
   January 7, 2010 / By Kevin “Coach” Collins / collinsreport.net

   All of these ridiculous statements were made on April 22 1970, the first Earth Day.

   Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University clown:

   “By…[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.”

   “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.”

   “Air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.”

   Ehrlich is the simpleton whose prediction of server food shortages got him into a bet with economist Julian Simon. Ehrlich had to pick five commodities he thought would increase in value because of his “shortages” and lost. He relied on advice from John Holdren, now Obama’s Science Czar, who was just as dumb then as he is today.

   Life Magazine, January 1970:
   “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….”

   Peter Gunter, professor, North Texas State University:
   “Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions….By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.”

   Kenneth Watt, Ecologist:
   “At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.”

   George Wald, Harvard Biologist: an original anti Viet Nam War “activist”:
   “Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”

   Martin Litton, Sierra Club director:
   “We are prospecting for the very last of our resources and using up the nonrenewable things many times faster than we are finding new ones.”

   Kenneth Watt, Ecologist:
   “By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate…that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, `Fill ‘er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, `I am very sorry, there isn’t any.’”
   AND,
   “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

   Former Sen. Gaylord Nelson:
   “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”

   “According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.
   “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.”

   Sen. Kerry Predicts “Ice-Free Arctic” In “5 or 10 Years”
   CNSNews / Friday, July 23, 2010 / Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer

   Speaking at a town hall-style meeting promoting climate change legislation on Thursday, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) predicted there will be “an ice-free Arctic” in five to 10 years.

   “The Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that even with an immediate total ban on ozone-depleting chemicals, recovery of the ozone layer will take more than a century.”
   (Earth Right, Prima Publishing, 1990.)

   “Most scientific researchers are convinced that global CFC emissions must be reduced substantially, if not completely, to avoid a catastrophic depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer.”
   (Save Our Planet, Dell Trade Paperback, 1990.)

   None of the preceding predictions proved true.

   The Fiction Of Climate Science
   Gary Sutton, 12.04.09 / Forbes.com

   . . . Newsweek fell in line and did a cover issue warning us of global cooling on April 28, 1975.

   And The New York Times, Aug. 14, 1976, reported “many signs that Earth may be headed for another ice age.”

   OK, you say, that’s media. But what did our rational scientists say?

   In 1974, the National Science Board announced: “During the last 20 to 30 years, world temperature has fallen, irregularly at first but more sharply over the last decade. Judging from the record of the past interglacial ages, the present time of high temperatures should be drawing to an end…leading into the next ice age.”
   …

   ‘Science’s prediction of “A full-blown, 10,000 year ice age,” came from its March 1, 1975 issue.
   The Christian Science Monitor observed that armadillos were retreating south from Nebraska to escape the “global cooling” in its Aug. 27, 1974 issue.

2. The armadillos are leaving Nebraska! What more evidence do we need!

4. Carter says we need to use coal and atomic energy? This video is obviously a vast right wing conspiracy.
