An (Arctic) Blast From The Past

From 18 years ago:

Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters..

A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world...

We'd better get on the ball, we only have 2 years left to sink those cities. 

Already, according to Randall and Schwartz, the planet is carrying a higher population than it can sustain. By 2020 ‘catastrophic’ shortages of water and energy supply will become increasingly harder to overcome, plunging the planet into war. They warn that 8,200 years ago climatic conditions brought widespread crop failure, famine, disease and mass migration of populations that could soon be repeated.

Erlich was wrong with The Population Bomb, and now Randall and Schwartz are, too.  They never give up, though, they never quit trying even in the face of 100% incorrect decisions over the last 50+ years.  Instead, they double down.  Every. Single. Time.

Do the people who surfaced this not realize we are currently into 2022 and all is well. The disasters and famines and global wars they mention apparently are programmed for 2020. Gee, I must have been napping while all that was going on. What was it P.T. Barnum said? "There's a __________ born every minute."
