There’s a new book out...”The End of Doom” by Ronald Bailey. He does a four-star job at explaining all the different ‘doom’ scenarios and how the original predictions (going back to the 1960s and up to the recent decade)....have all been about ninety-nine percent failed predictions. There’s roughly one percent of things that did occur.
The book came out in the last two weeks and makes for interesting reading (on my e-book reader). I’d advise Free Republic readers to pick it up and go through it. He cites tons of references and quotes, and gives four-star explanations to how the predictions failed.
We are an evolving society, with innovation and change occurring constantly now. Sadly, all of these scientist go with the premise that mankind cannot change and what numbers or facts exist in 1978...will be the trend. As Bailey shows over and over....we are beyond that type of society. We are continually shifting and going beyond the expectations of scientists.
Reality’s not the issue to democrats. They benefit from the doom and gloom lies. It’s self serving.
I suspect many on that side know they’re pushing lies...
