Wow, better spend my kids' inheritance now, since there's NO tomorrow!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!! You don't really believe all that do you? Because back in the 50's "scientists" predicted flying cars and global cooling, and, well, we see how that went. Well, I'm off. Gotta get the pneumatic fluid on my Air Scooter changed, then over to WalMart to buy a new parka.

What gets me is that they predict there's going to be a constantly growing population throughout all of this. But, they also predict flash floods, drought, disease, and food shortages, which all result in deaths. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't somebody who's deathly ill a poor breeder? And if they have a child, chances are it's going to have poor health, barely survive childbirth, and have a slim chance of living to reproduce?
But seriously, somebody please explain to me how the population is going to skyrocket if we're all going to die. I'd love to be enlightened.

I forget the name of the scientist or group but back when I was going to school in the 70s they were predicting that the earth's population would decline rapidly by 2000 since there was no way we could feed all those people. Also we were all going to freeze to death anyway due to Global Freezing.

Wish they would make up their mind,

I agree that the predictions are more accurate now than they have ever been. Scientists are learning new things about our environment every day, and the more they know, the more accurate they are.
The bottom line, however, is that the planet is changing, and we either will learn to adapt or die.

One of the surest ways to make a fool of your self is to make a prediction, so I'll make one. I predict that in the year 2200 science still will not be able to produce an accurate 10 day weather forecast.
