Pretty much all the catastrophes predicted by politically corrupted science have never happened. Supposedly we should have already run out of fossil fuels by now, as predicted in the early 80's. Oh, and we're all starving to death now because of the 'population bomb', predicted in the 70's. In the 50's the best science predicted another ice age.
Ironically, the proposed solutions to all these problems take the form of hippy-dippy progressive government enforced solutions. Disaster will be averted if we all recycle, install compost toilets, use public transportation, become vegetarians, and lower our standards of living back to before the industrial revolution. And if you don't, you will be made to care by our enlightened socialist masters.
Actually, the population bomb was held in temporary abeyance by the Green Revolution; oil depletion has been partially offset by technologies such as steam extraction and tracking.
That doesn't change the fact the overpopulation is a critical danger, or that oil is a finite resource. It only means that we've delayed the day of reckoning.
