But, as many have noted, predictions of climate devastation have historically included major flops. In previous decades, media reports and scientists issued warnings about glaciers disappearing in Montana, carbon concentrations intensifying, heavy snowfalls becoming sparse, and global temperature spiking by 2020. DOOMSDAYS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN: THINK TANK COMPILES DECADES' WORTH OF DIRE CLIMATE PREDICTIONSPerhaps the most glaring of failed predictions involved vanishing snow and ice in the north. In 1987, the Star-Phoenix reported on NASA scientist James Hansen's warning that by the end of the 90s, average global temperature increases would reach between one-half and 1 degree Celsius. Predictions like these are often held up as evidence that alarmist predictions about climate change shouldn't be taken seriously.
