2022 Same Shit, Different Year: 55 Years Of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

SUMMARY [Source Links In Original]
Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental
disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today.
None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true.
What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable
people in government and science.
More than merely spotlighting the failed predictions, this collection
shows that the makers of failed apocalyptic predictions often are
individuals holding respected positions in government and science.
While such predictions have been and continue to be enthusiastically
reported by a media eager for sensational headlines, the failures are
typically not revisited.

Gas hydrate dissociation off Svalbard induced by isostatic rebound
rather than global warming
Abstract
Methane seepage from the upper continental slopes of Western Svalbard
has previously been attributed to gas hydrate dissociation induced by
anthropogenic warming of ambient bottom waters. Here we show that
sediment cores drilled off Prins Karls Foreland contain freshwater
from dissociating hydrates. However, our modeling indicates that the
observed pore water freshening began around 8 ka BP when the rate of
isostatic uplift outpaced eustatic sea-level rise. The resultant local
shallowing and lowering of hydrostatic pressure forced gas hydrate
dissociation and dissolved chloride depletions consistent with our
geochemical analysis. Hence, we propose that hydrate dissociation was
triggered by postglacial isostatic rebound rather than anthropogenic
warming. Furthermore, we show that methane fluxes from dissociating
hydrates were considerably smaller than present methane seepage rates
implying that gas hydrates were not a major source of methane to the
oceans, but rather acted as a dynamic seal, regulating methane release
from deep geological reservoirs.

But…
Sources: Washington Examiner
Since then the climate catastrophists have only escalated.
And bringing us up to date in 2022...
As CEI reports, climate alarmists and their media allies once again
made a slew of claims about natural disasters being caused by man-made
emissions in 2022. And once again, these claims clashed with reality
and science.
Here are 10 fact checks of climate disaster claims made by the
Associated Press and other media outlets in 2022.
The Bottom Line: There is not a single natural disaster, nor trend in
any type of natural disaster that can be credibly linked with
emissions or whatever gradual “climate change” may be occurring for
whatever reason, including natural climate change. Attributing natural
disaster damages to emissions and climate change is without a factual
or scientific basis. And that certainly goes for 2022.
Regardless of one’s view of what passes as “climate science,” the good
news is that even researchers who believe that “climate change” is a
problem acknowledge that the number of weather-related deaths and the
cost of weather-related damage are actually on the decline – despite
ever-increasing emissions and whatever slight warming may be
occurring.
