Responding to RLn 56th Earth Day Anniversary Editorial

Earth Day has come and gone.

Another day and another year to reflect on the hoaxes and hyperventilation of the climate alarmists and the environmentally obsessed.

Has anyone noticed how their predictions never come to pass?

Paul Erlich made a killing selling doomsday books, claiming that the world would collapse under overpopulation. Fifty years later, the world is dealing with the exact opposite problem.

In 1970, Kenneth Watt of Swarthmore College warned that an epic ice age would wipe out the world. There have been cold spells and heatwaves, but the globe hasn’t turned into an uninhabitable icicle.

Then, in 1979, the New York Times started warning the public about global warming! The experts had it all wrong. We weren’t going to freeze to death in ten to twenty years … we were all going to melt away as the sun kept shining and the ozone layer kept depleting.

In fact, Former Vice President Al Gore rattled off all kinds of conspiracy theories in his 2006 crockumentary An Inconvenient Truth. In 2008, he told us that the polar ice caps would melt away in 2013.

Didn’t happen. The polar bears are still there, enjoying their year-long winter.

As of now, the ozone layer is replenishing itself, the United States has turned into a carbon sink with greater vegetation and rapidly expanding forestries, and all the climate alarmist cult warnings have come to naught.

Doesn’t it get tiresome for progressive outlets like yours to keep being so wrong for so long?
