Climate alarmists – prophets they're not

A senior U.N. official says entire nations have ten years to act on global warming or be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels. It sounds like something in today's headlines, but that prediction was made for the year 2000 ...
in 1989.
The Associated Press covered the prediction on June 29, 1989. Noel Brown, who was then director of the
New York office of the U.N. Environment Protection (UNEP), said coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of "eco-refugees," threatening political
chaos. Brown went on to say that
governments have a ten-year window opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.
"No prediction made by any climate alarmist has ever proven to be true," says Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com.
"They've been making them for more than 30 years now. None have been right. Their models stink. I'm not quite sure why anyone would believe them."
But people do believe them. For example, the "Green New Deal" sponsored by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) and Senator Edward Markey (D-Massachusetts) is based on a more recent U.N. prediction that the world has roughly 12 years to act on climate change.
"I don't know how this is ever going to go away," says Milloy.
"That's why that AP article ought to be useful – because ... 30 years ago they predicted that nations are going to be gone by the year 2000. Well, we're still here – and sea level rise is really not a problem."
