I would like to do a list, by year of everything the left/commies have dreamed up to scare us!!

Lets start in 1962.  The first "We all gonna die!!" I remember is the book "Silent spring".  We must not forget the "New Ice Age!!"  in the early 70s.  Acid rain.  Y2K.  The oceans will rise putting NYC under water by the year 2000.  SARS, MERS, Ebola, it seems like every year or two something will come along that is going to destroy a major part of the worlds population.  They have yet to be right but them Commies sure do know how to scare people.  I'm just curious as to how many of their unhinged rantings we have all lived through.

Can't do it by year, but add petroleum depletion, ozone hole, freon, global famine, super bugs, population explosion, and of course climate change (mutated from global warming).

1968 Paul Ehrlich wrote "The Population Bomb" predicting hundreds of millions of people would in the 70s from starvation.

Most of these "ploys" were thought up and implemented through the media grapevine to extort funds out of the pockets of the sheep herd.

Any GOP POTUS:

For the last 40 years every GOP POTUS has been branded as evil and out to destroy us if you listen to DEMOCRAT media: Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, George W Bush, and Donald J Trump... anyone who is not a DEMOCRAT.

Also...any SCOTUS nominee not appointed by a DEMOCRAT president.

Even a blind and deaf are smart enough to figure out frightening the populace is a good way for these people to fulfil their agenda rather than save any of us.

A lot of this stuff was real! Raptors decimated by DDT. Bald eagles off the endangered list since DDT was banned. Just because laws were passed and things didn't happen doesn't mean it wasn't true.   The last Bush lies about the need to invade Iraq turned me from a life long Republican into an Independent.

DDT was banned world wide not just in the U. S.  In Africa it was better than anything else in combatting malaria mosquitos.  I read that literally millions of Africans have died from malaria once DDT was banned.  I do agree with banning DDT in this country but we were not losing a major part of our population to something DDT could have prevented.

I always loved the anti sea level rise argument cause its hilarious hey genius when the ice in your drink melts does your glass overflow? Yeah learn water displacement.

That may be true for the North Pole's ice, but the South Pole and Greenland are covered with ice which fell as snow on land which was above sea level.

He may not have appreciated how much the ongoing green revolution (in agriculture) would increase the world's food output.  Unfortunately, many cultures simply used up the excess by increasing in numbers until they were close to starving again.

Just what if the ocean was still the same level as it has always been but the dry land is sinking. Just look at all the heavy building at water edge. Humm?
