“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.”

“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.”

“It is already too late to avoid mass starvation.”

“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….”

“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.”

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

“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.’”

“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.”

“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.”

HEre's one from 1980: We can CUT taxes INCREASE defense spending and BALANCE the budget.

How'd that one work out?

BTW, most of those predications were a) opinion based on b) current trends and assuming no intervention.

Couple of my personal favorites was that idiot Carter saying in the late 1970's all known oil reserves would be depleted by the year 2000.

Ted Danson on the tonight show in the late 1980's claiming all the worlds oceans would be devoid of life by 2000.

In honor of these two idiots, I'll drive my Hummer 3 to get a fish sandwich for lunch.

Carter saying in the late 1970's all known oil reserves would be depleted by the year 2000.

"World consumption of oil is still going up. If it were possible to keep it rising during the 1970s and 1980s by 5 percent a year as it has in the past, we could use up all the proven reserves of oil in the entire world by the end of the next decade."

You're correct he WAS wrong...we reached that point 8 years early in 1992.

The proven reserves in 1980 was 644.934bbls.

Reagan used the veto 78 times including shutting down the government. Of course, unlike Clinton, the press blamed him for the shutdown.

I laugh every time one of my liberal 'friends' tries to use Ronald Reagan to 'shield' our idiot POTUS. Especially the ones like GO65 or my antigroupie, who for years posted some of the most disgusting things I've ever read about RR.

They inadvertently admit what they long claimed was false, that Reagan is the 'gold standard' for what a President should be.

10 of those vetoes were for "appropriations". Only two were for continuing resolutions...2 were because they gave him too little...

4 tax hikes in six years including the largest corporate tax hike signed into law by Reagan in 1986 and a bail-out of social security are your gold standard for a President?

And you call "us" liberals?
