So did you read the report that came out on black friday? I breifly skimmed it but from what I read I'm glad I'll he dead by 2100. Even if we somehow figure out global warming, we'll overpopulate and overconsume soon enough.

All of us will be dead by then Zero so don't feel like the Lone Ranger. If it's any consolation, there's a pretty good chance that most of those predictions won't happen. After all, James Hansen the top NASA scientist (to some the father of the Global Warming movement) stood before Congress in 1988 and predicted that we were well on our way to being the new Atlantis and our atmosphere was going to be an EZBake Oven by 2018. He ended up being the Bernie Madoff of the Global Warming pseudo-religion (now it's called Climate Change).

Al Gore is another enlightened one with all kinds of input from the best of the best when it comes to climate scientists- Go back and look at his 10 predictions from "An Inconvenient Truth", remember the 2006 movie that won him an Oscar and a Nobel Prize...not one of them has come true. But hey, he get's $175,000 speaking fees, is tied to at least fourteen green-tech firms, sits strategically on multiple boards, benefited from Obama grants and millions in tax breaks. He’s on his way to becoming our first carbon billionaire.

It's also a good thing these expert predictions from the 1970 Earth Day didn't come true either- 

• "Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind." — Harvard biologist George Wald
• "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." — Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich
• "Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born… [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." — Paul Ehrlich
• "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." — North Texas State University professor Peter Gunter
• "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." — Life magazine
• "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." — Ecologist Kenneth Watt
• "Air pollution...is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone." — Paul Ehrlich
• "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.'" — Ecologist Kenneth Watt
• "[One] theory assumes that the earth's cloud cover will continue to thicken as more dust, fumes, and water vapor are belched into the atmosphere by industrial smokestacks and jet planes. Screened from the sun's heat, the planet will cool, the water vapor will fall and freeze, and a new Ice Age will be born." — Newsweek magazine
• "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." — Kenneth Watt
