A review published today by the Global Warming Policy Forum (GWPF) sets out the sad yet enlightening history of failed climate predictions.
The paper, by climate writer Paul Homewood, looks back to the days before the global warming alarm and takes a wry look at how calamity constantly seems to give humanity a miss.
Homewood says,
“It doesn’t matter what area of the climate you are looking at, climatologists have an extraordinary ability to be wrong. From the 1970s scare about a coming ice age to tropical islands sinking beneath the waves to permanent drought, they always seem to miss the target.”
And while their predictions tend to be of the doom-laden kind, that’s not always the case. As Homewood explains,
“Calamity is the touchstone of the climate scientist, and getting it wrong is their default mode. Unfortunately, even on rare occasions, they bring us good news, such as claims that the UK would develop a Mediterranean climate, their predictions have proven no better. Are these really the right people to guide public policy?”

According to the relevant government authority, Australia’s Murray-Darling River Basin could receive 30% less inflow in 30 years.
Could, but won’t. This will be another prediction that won’t come true. Yet, I would not say that it will fail, for the purpose is to frighten people and, on that note, it will be a total success.
The purpose of this authority was to stop states bickering over water availability.
How scaremongering about water shortages achieves that is beyond me.
Terrific stuff. Trouble is, this kind of document never seems to reach the people who most need to see it.
I can still remember all their false predictions of cities under Giant Domes of wearing Gas Masks in order to go Outside It looks like the Earth is,nt as Fargile as we have been told by the Eco-Freaks and t he Delicate Balance of Nature(I have heard this one for years)is also a big time lie
Great PDF overview. There’s so much failed alarmism out in public it’s amazing “the public” is so slow to see it. Here’s another attempt to expose the alarmism … https://newtube.app/user/RAOB/drbkiaw
