– Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that “civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”
-It is already too late to avoid mass starvation,” declared Denis Hayes, the chief organizer for Earth Day, in the Spring 1970 issue of The Living Wilderness.
-Barry Commoner predicted that decaying organic pollutants would use up all of the oxygen in America’s rivers, causing freshwater fish to suffocate.
-Sen. Gaylord Nelson wrote in Look that, “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”
-Kenneth Watt warned about a pending Ice Age in a speech. “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years,” he declared. “If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”
Erf Day – the time set aside for bloviating assholes to spout unfounded theories to ignorant masses.
We have nothing to fear but fear itself…
So people went into the business of selling fear and found out it sells like hotcakes, especially to dumbed-down, celebrity-obsessed, ignoranuses!
Over educated morons
I’m concerned that there was a senator named Gaylord Nelson!
The fact that ALL of them are ALWAYS spectacularly wrong will not deter the Alarmists a single iota.
THAT – I predict with confidence.

Earth Day- like Christmas for retards.
Already up to 3 barrels of used motor oil and 87 tires for Earth Day bonfire.
I can’t wait to get to an Erf Day gathering of patchouli-smelling hemp-clad wannabe hippies chanting OM and fracking-is-bad so we can dump all our garbage on the ground and leave it there.
I remember when Jimmy Carter said the world oil supply would be used up by now.
Today we have 0bama predicting AGW gloom and doom.
Some goofy D-Bags never change their ways.
On the first earth day me and a few other hippie types strolled around our high school playing guitars. I wrote and performed a song in the student lounge. “There’s too many people ’round here – – They’re drinkin’ all the beer – – They’re actin’ mighty queer – – There’s too many people ’round here.” Yeah, I swallowed that crap hook line and sinker but the chicks dug me.
The only Earth Day celebration in the area is nearly two hours away in a college town at one of the city parks. If Earth Day falls on a weekend sometime, I have some people lined up to travel with me, so we can set up in the park early, before any of the ecofreaks show up. We’re going to fire up the grills and cook all sorts of meat, light some tiki torches, crank up a portable generator, so we can play music, and make a day of it! We’re going to try to get there first and pick one of the choicest tables in the middle of the park, and I don’t think there is a damned thing anyone can do about getting us to leave, either.
Ecofreako’s are always spectacularly wrong and always will be/
Last year, when a bunch of Sarah Lawrence students asked me how I was planning to observe Earth Day, I said, “By asking shitheads like you to mind your business.”
These assholes should all go play in traffic. With any luck they’d get hit by a Prius.
