Great compilation. One liberal outdoorsman friend asked me, do you really deny all the science of global warming and I answered that I believe the alarmism is 2 1/2 to seven times overstated and that THAT it backed up in science.
The evidence of massive overstatement, lies and false promises keeps coming in.

From the article:
1. "within 15 to 20 years of this [1987], the earth will be warmer than it has been in the past 100,000 years,” Hansen said.
Good grief. Only if you lie about how warm it was over the last 100,000 years.
2. [1978] the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere will double by 2020
That would make put atmospheric CO2 levels at 670 parts per million, still less than one part per thousand, a trace element. Actual number today: 413 PPM. The increased was over-promised by more than 400%.
3. "China says it will, by 2020, reduce gases by 40 to 45 percent"
China increased emissions by 168%. Oops. China lies (too).
4. "Al Gore’s 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth predicted that there would be no snow on Kilimanjaro in 2020." Wrong.

Do the writers keep their money anyway? Academy award? Nobel Peace Prize??
5. In 1986, the Environmental Protection Agency’s Jim Titus predicted that the sea level around Florida would rise two feet by 2020, The Miami Herald reported.
https://junkscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/The_Miami_Herald_Sun__Sep_21__1986_.pdfAccording to NOAA, the sea level at Virginia Key has risen by about 9 centimeters, which works out to 3.54 inches.
Is the man still a paid government forecaster?
...
10. 2010, Glacier National Park erected signs warning that its signature glaciers would be gone by 2020. This year, the park rushed to change the signs as the glaciers still existed.
Question: Does Glacier National Park lose its National Park status if it loses it's glaciers? Moot.
Do people who once believed all this still believe their sources.
