Superglue not needed

• Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the University of East Anglia, in 2000 said, "within a few years winter snowfall will become a very rare and exciting event..Children just aren't going to know what snow is."
• Less than a decade later, former US Vice President Al Gore predicted sea levels could rise by 7 metres "in the near future". His movie "An Inconvenient Truth" included scenes from a science fiction movie, and the day before an announcement that he was a co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, a British High Court judge ruled that it contained nine significant errors. He subsequently bought a 20-room mansion that reportedly "guzzles more electricity in one year than the average American family uses in 21 years."
• Former Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd warned "climate change is the great moral challenge of our time" before jetting off to a climate change talk-fest in Copenhagen where delegates had to scramble home before the airport was snowed under. But the claimed sea level rise didn't put him off purchasing a multi-million dollar beachfront mansion at Noosa's Sunshine Beach a few years ago and he's soon going to experience how cold an American winter can be as our Ambassador in Washington.
• Professor Tim Flannery of the Climate Council in 2007 claimed: "Even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams... " Oops, keep trying Tim, there are thousands of subsequent flood victims who might not believe you.

Back in the 1970's scientists seemed unable to agree on whether we were entering a new ice age or global warming was about to ramp up. Here are just a few of the many dire warnings made after the first Earth Day in 1970:

• Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that "civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind."
• "We are in an environmental crisis that threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation," according to Washington University biologist Barry Commoner.
• The day after the first Earth Day, the New York Times editorial page warned, "Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction."

But when it comes to alarmist predictions, this one takes the prize: "… As all the ice at the two poles melt, a stupendous volume of water will be released. Fish will swim in Buckingham Palace … the Sahara Desert will be a great inland sea … New York will be marked by taller skyscrapers … the climate will be as when dinosaurs roamed the earth…"

This piece again from the woke left's prized New York Times is dated - May 15, 1932.

Well it hasn't happened in the last 90 years, I don't think King Charles and Queen Camilla will have to vacate Buckingham Palace any time soon, we'll still have to walk a couple of hundred metres from our home to let our dogs enjoy our beautiful beach for the foreseeable future. So I won't be buying any super glue unless something really needs mending.
